I have once tried to make a TTS engine write to a pipe file and have lame read from the pipe file but that failed badly. I found a workaround so didn't find a fix.
Is this Linux? You could try some magic with ALSA. For example writing to file or memory and have lame read from there. As well I've heard sound servers are also quite capable (pulseaudio, etc.). And btw for me encoding is often at 50x on my old laptop so I'm not sure why encoding for you takes so much time.
