Thanks for answering, but please, pay more attention to what happens.
Additional 3 seconds delay happens only when the "winepath" executable is
invoked in a variable substitution.
`winepath` or $(winepath) takes 3 seconds more than winepath to complete.

Zool ~ # winemine &

Zool ~ # time winepath ; sleep 5 ; time echo $(winepath)

real    0m0.014s
user    0m0.007s
sys     0m0.007s

real    0m0.013s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.007s

Exactly! but i'm still asking why $() and `` adds an additional 3 seconds
delay, and if there is a workaround apart from launching another wine app in
background.
