WMF's hosting costs are pretty well under control. We have two parser CPU reduction features on our roadmap, but the main justification for doing them is to reduce latency, rather than cost, thus providing a better user experience. If both of them are fully utilised, we can probably reduce average parse time by a factor of 10. By "we" do you mean Citizendium?
