If they were stored on a server, as you say, consider a server throughput of 100 Mbps LAN - network overhead, so maybe 8 or 9 MB/s, and wonder why Premiere takes so long to load the files.

Also, consider this thread derailed.

Someone else will come get it back on track.
We're trying to make it worse by uploading Inventor files into the animation.
Now that will kill the program's ability to run well (did it before back in 2004 with very unhappy results. The model kept pulling itself apart and it was the last night before it was due so we didn't have much time to play with it so we had to live with it's flaws).
