I don't get this, the issue sounds more like AV software or Windows 
application quality service/agent thing accessing the file but I might 
be wrong of course. Are you able to duplicate this reliably and if so, 
have you looked at it with any tools to see what/who is accessing it 
that is causing the delay?
