Looks like the gcc wiki is using the MoinMoin wiki engine, just like us at wiki.debian.org (where I'm a wiki admin). We've had exactly the same problem. See http://bugs.debian.org/668000 for more details of what I found - it's the time taken to scan the list of users looking for subscription data. I've just added a patch into the Debian moin package to add a cache to fix most of the problems with this. It should backport easily to version 1.8.7 that you're using. See http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinBugs/GetSubscribersSlow for one of the upstream moin bug reports, and where I found the patch.
