Could you check in what part of the system the processing power is
mostly spent? I.e. user/system/waiting...

Those RtlpWaitForCriticalection are signs of a race condition, usually
caused by the fact that wine sometimes has to go about things in a
rather roundabout way. It could for example be that your program uses
one thread to read the serial port and another for the main program. Now
if those two threads are competing for a lock/semaphore/whatever the
result could be what you are seeing.
Another possibility is that some other program is trying to read from
ttyS0 as well.
