Haven't checked the results of Lars suggestion yet but wanted to add
this:
I have seen something very similar by pressing 'g' having "Reading
active file" seem to take too long. What I have been doing is a little
different but probably gets the same result. I go into the server
buffer (^) and shut down the server where the read was hanging up with
(C)close. Then hit (O) open and when it opens press 'g' and the read
will proceed quickly.
