Twice as fast and simpler than my previous posting is the following  
variant of Michael Trott's code  -  using Range instead of Table.

SteppedTake2[list_, {start_, finish_, step_}]:=
list[[Range[start,finish, step]]]

Timings

SteppedTake[list, {20,9000,5}];//Timing (*my previous*)
SteppedTake2[list, {20,9000,5}];//Timing
