Unless by "ping" you mean a program called "ping.php", the ping will not 
be affected by the php setting.  It will be affected by other server 
setup parameters, but those would likely affect all domains on the same 
server.  Is the extra time taken including or excluding the DNS lookup?

Assuming you have virtual host handling for both the blog and the wiki, 
you can confirm this by copying the "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 
.php .php4 .php3 .phtml" setting from the wiki virtual host section into 
the wordpress virtual host section.  If that setting is outside of both 
virtual host sections, it should affect both equally.
