Wild guess, as you didn't mention it: Are you checking out via https? You might be running out of entropy. There have been reports of that which fit your description. If yes, you could check whether http does work faster for you.

Another option would be that you're using per-directory access control [1] which can create a big load on the server. You might want to disable that at least for testing purposes [2].
