I see - thanks for explaining that, which also explains why disabling the
parsercache isn't a good idea if you have more than a few users using the
wiki at the same time.

Believe it or not, but MediaWiki's parser is NOT fast. It is quite
inefficient, it's a big kludge made up of a huge pile of regexes and
other stuff. Not to mention that things like #ifexist and other things
end up doing a costly query to the database. Which in itself is
something that can quickly slow down a site by doing to many of those on
every page view.
