Sorry? You're accessing disk, and yet you expect a piddly little
function like this to have any effect whatsoever on execution times?

I'm sorry, Andrue, I don't get it. Calling this function 28000 times
should take no time at all.

(I'll leave aside the fact that both versions of the code look to be
candidates for www.thedailywtf.com.)
