One hotspot is WAHtmlRenderer>>anchorWithAction:do:
On a link-heavy page (it's not unusual for my pages to have 300 or 500 
anchors) this can take up to 60% of the time (most of it is spent in 
WAHtmlRenderer>>urlForAction: ... String>>encodeForHTTP).

However, even after I removed calls to encodeForHTTP, rendering anchors 
takes about 40% of page time (well, which is not really suprising since 
there are many anchors to render ...)
