CodeHaus is probably not using LDAP for authentication. Based on
other posts I have seen, I think that mechanism is particularly slow.
It also probably is not using authz rules which also slows things
down.

You could try making a simple read-only, no authentication
configuration. This should be as good as performance can get. Then
add in each other piece one at a time so you can see how each impacts
performance.
