Just a couple quick notes for now...

The Esperanto Wikipedia has a small number of samples above 15 seconds, which is sad but perhaps not alarming. The "recent changes" has 56 % of its samples in the high 5-15 seconds response time interval, which is a little high.
Note also that the perl-based Esperanto wiki filters output through a character set conversion and doesn't do any page caching (since caching didn't interact well with the conversion), which is bound to slow it down a little bit.
Perhaps this could be fixed by setting the default "recent changes" list from 7 or 3 days. Who can change this setting? Tell me when you change, and I will report how the response time changed. Almost all other samples are in the 0-2 and 2-5 categories, which is very good.
Have you tried running your tests on, say, http://eo.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi?action=rc&days=3 ?
