I found that most of the processes I had that were left behind were winedbg processes showing the crash dialog. This was slowing things down quite a bit with winetest because each was triggering the two minutes timeout.
I know you're avoiding crashing tests and you probably already avoid this dialog but here goes anyway; I prime all my fresh wineprefixes with:
./wine "./programs/regedit/regedit.exe.so" - <<__EOF__ [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineDbg] "ShowCrashDialog"=dword:00000000 __EOF__
And now I'll plug the conformance tests Wiki page where I documented this: http://wiki.winehq.org/ConformanceTests
