I wrote 300,000 single values to a binary file for testing. Reading the contents into a List(Of Single) took about 5 seconds on my system (low end Core 2 Duo).

Code:
		Dim singleCollection As New List(Of Single)

		Using reader As New BinaryReader(File.OpenRead("C:\Temp\BinaryFile.dat"))
			Do Until reader.PeekChar() = -1
				singleCollection.Add(reader.ReadSingle())
			Loop
		End Using
