I think you answered your own question. By placing it on another computer you're placing a whole lot of steps between you and those files. But not only do you have the ethernet to worry about, but also the HDD on the other end has to seek based on the demands of the other computer on the network, as well as the computers talking to eachother for the read. And I suspect by being on another computer and not having direct access, your computer has to send requests from WX one file at a time, slowing it down further, but I'm not a coder and that's just a guess.

The point is, if you want speed, you'll put the files on the computer you are playing Dolphin on. Otherwise, you'll have to accept some limitations. The fact it works at all is pretty great in and of itself.
