The syntax you are looking for is:

    BLOAD filespec, A, B, L

where filespec is the path and/or filename, A is the address in memory
where you want to data to go, B is the byte position in the file where
you want to start reading data and L is the length or number of bytes
to read.

However, if the problem is due to where on the /RAM volume the data is
being moved from, which I suspect is the problem, then this almost
certainly won't help to alleviate the delay.
