TWiki is ("out-of-the-box") not a very efficient program. It's a
set of CGI scripts and uncached text files. That means every request
for a TWiki page requires starting up the Perl runtime, re-compiling
the Perl script, re-parsing the wiki page, re-generating the HTML, and
then existing. The next page request does it all over again.
That said, if the VM solution works for you, why not use it?

From a wiki user/editor point-of-view, MediaWiki is, hands-down, the
best wiki I've used. There's nothing like trial-by-fire on the
world's busiest wiki (Wikipedia) to get things hammered out.
