Knowing a bit about the call hierarchy, maybe we can squeeze a bit more knowledge out of that. Here's what seems to be going on:

    formatting               4616
    [-] alt-r                4555
     | bolded-text            914
     | plain-wiki-link        841
     | italicized-text        793
     | nowiki-text            584
     | ampersand-coded-text   486
     | joined-wiki-link       413

Hmm, then the total time of alt-r's children is 4031, leaving 524 msec in alt-r itself.

My test page has quite a bit of bolded text (for testing), so I suppose it's the reason why bolded-text is the highest. Hmm.

Anyway I'm thinking of adding the following parser to the top of the big 'alt structure in formatting:

  (= plain-text
    (pred [or (alphadig _) (whitec _) (in _ #\. #\,)] anything))

  (= formatting
    (alt
      plain-text
      ...))
Hmm. It seems we can't squeeze much performance out of 'alt, I can't really see a way of optimizing 'alt itself, so possibly we should optimize the grammar that uses 'alt.

Did something highly similar to this, it reduced my 8-paragraph lorem ipsum time from about 3200msec to 2100msec.
