I just experimented with this last night, after twisting them
together for the past couple of weeks. I used a combine long sword
(28 delay) and swung 20 times (after the very first swing which
counted as 0) and ran each test twice.

- With no songs going, 20 swings took 56 seconds, which confirms what
someone said earlier about the delay representing tenths of seconds
of delay.

- With Anthem as my only song, 20 swings took 51 seconds, or
aproximately a 10% decrease in delay.

- With just Whistling Warsong going, 20 swings took 48 seconds, or
aproximately a 15% decrease in delay.

- With both Anthem and Warsong going, 20 swings still took 48
seconds, indicating they do not stack in terms of cutting down on
your delay any further. You do still get a STR boost from each song.

Based on this, I'm now no longer going to bother stacking both songs,
and when solo I'll likely twist Warsong with Bellow and Healing. In
groups I'll do Anthem instead of Warsong. I am going to test this
one more time on a weapon with a greater delay just to be 100% sure.
