OK. From what I can gather, I guess that the highlight parser wouldn't affect 
performance that much anyway.

No, the cache is built into MoinMoin, so it should just work. However, it 
seems to be a constant source of problems, usually producing errors that are 
often dealt with using "moin maint cleancache".

I imagine that we might need to dig deeper to see where Moin is spending all 
its time. Did you look at the following page, by the way...?
