After reading your message, I'm also sure I don't understand your problem.
You say "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}]}
But, is this an evaluation or just writing back what you gave as input?
