I don't have a solution, just a comment that it's a real problem.
I don't suppose you could pre-generate some of the requests?
like during off-hours or something?

I don't use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel but if it's so slow here's an idea.
If the output involves only data, that is, no formulas or macros, then
you could output it in Comma-Separated-Values format (CSV) and load it
into your spreadsheet that way. There are a number of modules on CPAN
<http://cpan.org/> that can do this.
But then again, I still would do a test on the server just to make sure
it is not the cause of the problem.
