Well, just look into moin's / apache's log file to see what URL was
requested.

For a fresh wiki, some requests trigger longer computations for the
creation of misc. caches (e.g. the pagelinks cache). Once it finished
creating them, those requests are processed much faster.

Could be also some expensive search, some macro (like SystemInfo), maybe
download of a huge file (with old moins), ...

For moin 1.8.x, you can configure logging quite specifically (see the
server adaptor file), for earlier moin's logging configuration was a bit
strange.

It is easy to get beyond 100ms.
