 * Hello,
 * I have been using Duplicator for a long time. This is what I wrote about it, 
   back in September 2013: _This is a wonderful plugin and the support by Cory Lamle
   through free support tickets is fine. I have been using it for three months now(
   both on WP 3.4.2 and 3.6.1) and I just gave it my 5-stars vote._
 * However…
 * This week, for the first time in several months, I built an archive with Duplicator(
   version 1.5.3.1) and installed it on a local development computer (Windows 10
   with Laragon 6.0. It runs PHP 7.4.33 and MariaDB 10.5.19, the same as on the ‘
   live’ server for this site). Building the archive went as usual, but not its 
   deployment. On earlier occasions, a local installation of that specific site 
   on the same platform took me less than 4 minutes total, but his time the last
   two installation steps (loading the database and data replacement) took **75 
   minutes**.
 * Then I did a test with a much smaller website: 5 pages, no posts, 1 custom post,
   archive size 59MB, a database of 15MB with 35 tables (most of them for the WordFence
   plugin). Installation on the same local computer took 8 minutes.
 * Then, on the site I used for the test, I replaced Duplicator by a version of 
   about half a year ago, 1.4.7.2 and used it to make a new archive (this time 57MB(?))
   and did another install. This took less than 1 minute, like it had been in the
   past.
 * Any idea how this is possible or what I can do about it? A 75 minutes database
   build time is not really workable. Should I use the Duplicator ‘workable’ version
   1.4.7.2 as a kind of ‘Duplicator Legacy’ plugin?
