Search Request Random Latency

I was successfully using Meilisearch 1.2.0 to 1.3.3 in a Laravel 9 dev project on Windows 10. About a week ago I had to reinstall Windows and WAMP. After the reinstallation I noticed it now took more than 60 seconds (instead of about 5 seconds) to start the Meilisearch engine (the executable) in a cli window and some search requests by my web application now take between 12 to 30 seconds (instead of 1 second before the reinstallations) to show the results. Since I hadn't changed anything in the code and I'm developing locally, I have no clue why there's this huge delay now.

I tested my code and the delay is clearly coming directly from index searches in my code like these:

$client = new Client(Search::$url, Search::$key);
$index = $client->index('releases');
$releases = $index->search('',
$searchParams = [
'filter' => [
'comp_only = 0',
'name = "'.$name.'"',
'system = "'.$system.'"'
],
'limit' => 500
])->getHits();


I updated Meilisearch from 1.3.3 to 1.11 and completely rebuilt the search indexes but no luck. The results are totally fine but take 12 to 30 seconds instead of 1 second. There is no pattern: The exact same search request takes 1 second one time and another time 15 seconds for the same request. Any hints where I could look to investigate further? Thanks.
