THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

Turn off logging and devMode.
DevMode allows reloading of configuration and validation related files, but because they happen on each request, this setting will totally kill your performance.
When using logging, make sure to turn off logging (esp. Freemarker generates a LOT of logging), and check if a level is enabled before printing it, or you will get the cost of the String parsing/concatination anyways.
