Is there some list or tool that identifies Wikipedia pages that are
slow to parse?

My interest is mainly in the context of Lua deployment.  I would like
to identify non-obvious templates that may be having an appreciable
impact on performance.  (As opposed to things like {{cite}}, where the
performance problems are already well-known.)

I don't suppose the database stores a "time for last parse" somewhere?

On enwiki we've already made Lua conversions with most of the string
templates, several formatting templates (e.g. {{rnd}}, {{precision}}),
{{coord}}, and a number of others.  And there is work underway on a
number of the more complex overhauls (e.g. {{cite}}, {{convert}}).
However, it would be nice to identify problematic templates that may
be less obvious.
