I think Tim did some tests regarding this problem by using HipHop instead of
Zend. It's a band-aid, but it'll help for a while. HipHop dropped the parsing
time down to 10ms or so on the Barack Obama article, I think? But MediaWiki
isn't close to being able to switch to HipHop, as far as I'm aware. Tim started
support on that, so a healthy framework exists, but the fine-grained support is
all missing at this point.

These particular templates (the citation ones) could be converted into a PHP
extension (and Svip has done some work on this in
extensions/TemplateAdventures), but people disagree about whether that's the
right approach, and perfect is the enemy of the done.
