As far as I can tell, these problems are due solely to the quality of trac. There is no indication that they will disappear through only an improvement of the hardware the site is hosted on (unless we consider a really amazing improvement, something on the order of 10x faster CPU and disk than what we have now, a 3GHz P4 and contemporary disks).
Not to be overly blunt, but there are other trac installations running on far less capable hardware that don't suck anywhere near as hard. That's not to say trac is great, but it isn't near this bad in many, many other places. I don't know anything about the history of this particular installation, what else is running on the server etc. but I don't think it's trac as trac. It may be trac as installed in this particular situation, with whatever historical mutilations have been performed on it, with the particular versions of this and that. Dunno, just trying to find a way to help with my very, very limited time. S
