This discussion: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/mediawiki/142351 is probably very relevant. Note that there are two issues discussed there. First, there's a bug in MW 1.13 in which NO OTHER USER can load a wiki page until the slow extension call is finished - fixed in MW 1.13.1 or 1.13.2 - and I don't think we have this problem on lalashan. Second, there's a bug and/or feature in MW in general in which no more than one script WITHIN A SESSION, that is, page requests from the same user within the same browser, can run at a time.

The second one is harder to get around. I don't see how to escape from it in WW. The best answer may be to go to an Ajax-based architecture, so that the page is served first and WW make jobs are done afterwards, in separate requests to the web server.
