Comment(by imincik1):

 TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP has no effect on temporary directory path created by
 vector library.

 I did one more test on importing some vector data by v.in.ogr

 1. temporary directory located on NFS = 16 seconds
 2. temporary directory located on NBD = 2 seconds
 3. temporary directory located in memory (tmpfs on /mnt/booster type
 tmpfs): 0.8 seconds !

 It seems that possibility to set temporary directory path created by
 vector library to some quicker file system can be beneficial for all
 users.
