I had this slowdown happen in another programming language if I wrote data to a network file line-by-line. When I switched to writing the data to a local file and then copying it in a single block move to the network file, the transfer happened instantly. I suspect it's because having the file open across the network for a "relatively" long period of time (really just a few seconds) somehow prevented the OS from processing network traffic as often as it needed to, thereby slowing everything down tremendously. I dunno if this situation applies to the way RB handles files, but if what your application is doing when the user clicks that button resembles what I was doing, it might be something for you to check out.
