Profiling is good. However, neither the MediaWiki code or the SMW code are
anywhere near modular, MediaWiki likely being the bigger offender. They
both follow the big ball of mud pattern and have a high degree of
inseparability. Extracting or replacing any "component" (not that there are
nicely bounded components) is going to be all but easy.
