I learned today why it was taking so long to make changes on some MoinMoin wiki's I manage. MoinMoin does a reverse DNS lookup attempt on every save. Many ISPs do not provide reverse DNS, so the request simply times out. That timeout can be quite long, and it happens on every save. The solution? Just add a configuration option in wikiconfig.py. 
log_reverse_dns_lookups = False
