Sorry, it could depend on what we mean by "file access", so allow me to try to
clarify.  I am grateful of your data since they show that raw data handling
speed is good.  But to read a file you have to open it.  I suspect that file
lookup and opening may be an issue.  Which remains me, I should check and see
if any of the TeX lookup paths are significantly different between the two
cases!

Best wishes - Eliot
