I submitted a bug report describing the problem in more details on the Wikimedia Bugzilla, but short version is that when deleting or moving multiple pages at once, I experienced severe server lag and timeouts, and the job queue seemed to process the requests in PHP very slowly in PHP 5.5.0. I rolled back to 5.4, and it's working fine.
More details can be found on the bug report I submitted on Bugzilla.

I've tried PHP 5.5.0, had to go back to PHP 4.4.9 due to issues with deleting and moving pages in MediaWiki.
We need more details. Which version of MediaWiki do you use ? I never encountered any problems with the latest PHP versions 5.5.0...5.5.7 and latest MediaWiki core.
If you compile PHP from its sources, then the following "configure" works well: ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share/php --mandir=/usr/share/man --bindir=/usr/bin --libdir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --sysconfdir=/etc --with-libdir=lib64 --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2-prefork --with-openssl --with-bz2 --with-zlib --with-curl --with-ldap --with-mysql --with-mysqli=mysqlnd --with-pdo-mysql --enable-mbstring --with-xsl --enable-calendar --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-iconv --with-pspell --with-gmp --with-mcrypt --enable-zip --enable-bcmath make make install
