maybe a little :)

I do not suggest this as a correct solution, but fyi r.what can
take multiple input maps in a single call. It can also take
multiple input coords in a single call, so you can at least
queue you queries into bigger sized chunks if you like, which
would ease the pain a little.

as a long term solution, would a from-scratch LGPL native GDAL
driver help? ... Possible Summer of Code project for someone?
