> The results are very interesting:

If by ``interesting'' you mean the few large readings after the
initial one, I'd suspect some heavy network traffic at that moment
that slows down file access.  Do you have any other explanations?

> Suddenly we get relatively good results.

It means most of the time is not spent in actually reading the file,
but in something else.

Perhaps look at why we spend about 1 sec (3.99 - 2.81) inside
find-file-noselect, and also why are we calling file-exists-p so many
times.
