There's actually nothing wrong with Piwik. We have it tracking more than 1,000,000 visitors/month and millions of page views per month, various goal tracking, segments, reports, etc.
However, if you're site(s) have traffic, then I agree 100% that you absolutely have to perform due diligence and create a proper environment for Piwik to thrive. This often includes NOT running it on the same server as your traffic sites.
We run it from a dedicated cloud service with ample ram, SSD space, and proper number of cpu cores. Then just scale as needed. Plus, of course, the proper environment (NGINX, memcached, etc).
Here's a guide to
Piwik How-To for environment optimization for others who may be interested in Piwik.
Having said all of that, 3rd party plugins/themes are usually the culprit when it comes to breaking of Wordpress.
