I’ve been struggling with the speed (or lack thereof) of Lando for Drupal sites. I have suspected xdebug was part of the issue. Sure enough, disabling xdebug speeds up the lando instance considerably. Re-enabling it slows it right back down again. I use xdebug often, so having to lando rebuild  to turn xdebug on and off is not an option. I wondered if there’s a way to leave the extension enabled but only use it when needed.

While researching config directives like xdebug.remote_enable  and xdebug.remote_autostart, I came across this issue thread on the github Lando project: Allow faster xdebug on/off toggling

The title sounds promising, right?
