It could be a number of things. Short of memory, waiting for a timeout.

Try taking Apache down and testing then. If php works fast, and slows 
again when Apache is restarted
you have your reason.  Give it more memory, make other things smaller, 
fewer worker threads, etc.

You don't need much. I run nginx on a 256MB VPS server with php and it 
flies!
