7 seconds is an eternity for such small files.

Btw, is "C-x C-f" faster than Dired, by any chance?

> If there are any other tests I can do, please let me know.

Can you tell if setting the following variables has any effect?

  (setq vc-handled-backends nil)
  (setq locate-dominating-stop-dir-regexp "")

(Please try them one by one, in that order.)
