I doubt you'd get very much faster or more efficient even by
writing your own C module. (it would probably only take you a
minute to create a r.zero module out of the doc/raster/r.example
code; just change "return x;" to "return 0;" and compile.

tip: to avoid all your scripts breaking when you want to use
grass7, always add a space around the '=' in r.mapcalc.

 r.mapcalc "initialized_map = 0"
