[Wine] Libcups.so causes delay at startup

[jojo4u]

Starting various applications with wine (e.g. xnview) I see a long delay (several seconds) until the application starts. Using WINEDEBUG=all I can see printer specific stuff before the delay (attached below). 
Wine 1.1.12
Up-to-date Arch Linux
libcups.2.so from package libcups 1.3.9-2 is installed as dependency of gtk2. CUPS is not configured at all.

Now the catch: Removing libcups.so and libcups.2.so makes the long delay go away. How can I have a fast startup with libcups.so in place?
