Not to mention that 

1. Most GMT plots are composites built by several GMT calls, so not easy to do that in one long-winded pipe with no file to append to,
2. In order to determine proper bounding box of a general plot we need to use ghostscript more than once, hence temp file is required.

So if you want things to go fast then JJ is absolutely right: get fast computer, perhaps with SSD.
