If your efforts manage to double the speed of reading file A, then probably the reading file B is also going to be improved! In practice you use a variety of files, but one at a time will do.
What is the difference in your timing when you first read the file, and then read it a second time when it's been cached by the OS? In other words, you are probably measuring more of the response time of the disk than the code that does the reading, hence making your figures useless.
