Read File Component Time to Read File

I am using the read file component to read in a text file (Grashopper Version 0.8.0066).  I originally had the text file on the local hard drive and it only takes the component a few milliseconds to complete.  However the files recently moved to a network drive and it now takes 4 minutes to complete (according to the profiler).  It is a very small (2kb)  text file and opens up in a program like notepad very quickly from the network location.  Is there something about the component function that makes it slow down when accessing a file on a network drive and is there any way to improve this without having to move the files back to the local hard drive?  

Thanks for any input.
