I suspect the delay between SC calling the dll would be much greater than the time required to access a short file but file access time depends on what its stored on - mine are in my data directory which is on a linux ramdisk so that might not be much longer than the dtc access but if it was on a hdd that was spun down it could be quite slow.

Just doing a python read of a short file off my ramdisk shows about 10 microseconds to open, read, and close, however a different method shows 100 microseconds, which is still fast.

Edit: a later test in C suggests around 45 microseconds so the first reading must be an error due to my testing method.
