The default value of `TeX-macro-global' is
(TeX-macro-global)
which calls kpsewhich.

Instead the default value of `TeX-macro-private' is
(or (append (TeX-parse-path "TEXINPUTS")
(TeX-parse-path "BIBINPUTS"))
(TeX-macro-private))
If you have set the environment variables TEXINPUTS and BIBINPUTS, the
function `TeX-parse-path' will build the list of directories by simply
using those variables, without calling kpsewhich.
Bye,
Mosè
