The timing differences are striking.

Could the GRASS-GDAL-Plugin-autoload mechanism adapted
somehow (of course that's the reverse direction)? The GRASS plugin
is only loaded on demand. This would slow down the command using
it but for r.external and r.{in,out}.gdal it might be irrelevant since
usually performed only one time.
