600 layers, that's quite a bit :)

The capabilities are generated by tempita, a simple templating library that is small and easy to embed, but not as fast as other templating libraries. I guess that this is your bottleneck.
Can you make the configuration available and can you time a capabilities request with a service of 100 and 200 layers?
