 * When I have w3 total cache plugin enabled it makes my multisite so slow. What
   could be the problem?

 * You’re not giving enough information. Is your multisite on a dedicated virtual
   server or on shared hosting?
 * What are your settings for Database and Object cache. Notice in the setup that
   using Database cache can slow down sites on shared hosting.

 * I have a vps running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have nginx as my webserver with APC.
   I have 60 sites on my network and the database is 5GB in size. I have page cache
   use Disk:Enhanced; Database Cache use Disk and Object Cache use APC

 * More likely you are stretching your server CPU, try giving your host company 
   a call, you may have to upgrade. I had the same issue
