OK, I figured out why wine was so slow when called from two nested PHP scripts.

The outermost script was waiting for all child processes of the
innermost PHP script to die, which means it was waiting on wineserver.
 Running a separate, persistent copy of wineserver eliminates the
problem.

Hopefully that helps someone else someday...
