Where did you need to put this line?  In general, shell scripts
should work correctly without such a setting, provided that you have
sh.exe (a symlink to bash.exe) somewhere on your PATH.

Yes, pipes and `command` expansion are much slower in the DJGPP port,
because they are emulated with disk files.  Having TMPDIR pointed to a
large RAM disk helps to some degree.
