 Thanks for this tip, I will try.

 To be sure, I mean temporary directory located in mapset:
 $MAPSET/.tmp/$HOSTNAME/vector . There is already some variable called
 GRASS_VECTOR_TEMPORARY, but according description, it is just enabling and
 disabling temporary dir. I will play with both and report back.
