i got the same issue with Homestead but i could speed it up.
- move my projects root dir from my encrypted home directory to decrypt it.
- switched to NFS @see https://laracasts.com/forum/?p=1757-slow-responses-on-homestead/0
And now everything works fast enought for me.
NFS is awesome. Unfortunately it doesn't work out of the box on Windows. For getting it working on windows @see this other laracasts thread
Basically just need to install a vagrant plugin:
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd
I've difficulties with response time even with nfs enabled. For those who have the same issues, try to install newer versions of vagrant and VirtualBox
Vagrant 1.7.4 https://bintray.com/mitchellh/vagrant/vagrant/1.7.4/view#files
VirtualBox 5.0.11 r104456 https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.0.11-104456-OSX.dmg
