I'm not sure that you really understand the problem. (I *am* sure that I do
not understand the problem.) Note that, without the Gaussian factor in the
integrand, the integral is evaluated without delay:
In[1]:=
Timing[InputForm[Integrate[Erf[400 (z/x-.002)],{x,0,.03}]]]
Out[1]=
{0.45 Second,Integrate[Erf[400*(-0.002 + z/x)], {x, 0, 0.03}]}
