I'm still working on a way to solve the problem that steam connect becomes slow too, but that'll take some time.

It seems like you should only query the Steam APIs on user login (or with a cron job that runs once a day; maybe add a button for users to refresh their own data) and store it in memcache. The forum will then always read the data out of memcache and won't be impacted by slow or failed Steam API requests.
