I'd be curious to see how much energy it takes to dry by vacuum. The water boiling off would cause the cloths to loose heat since that is what happens when water changes phase from liquid to gas. Would the cloths freeze after enough water boiled away? Somehow I think drying by vacuum would still require heat input.
