Can you detail "at times" a bit?

Once a day it re-caches the system messages, which can be a bit sluggish
and may leave a couple of things waiting on each other leading to
timeouts. I'm not sure it should be strictly necessary for it to do
that; if you'd like to try extending the time it keeps those try setting
this in LocalSettings.php:

$wgMsgCacheExpiry = 0;

See if that helps.
