Issues with reloading from Oword

Following a bizarre behavior related to a remapped M6, I came in need to have the machine automatically reload the gcode file following an abort/manual stop of a program run. I have included the attached oword module, and <on_abort> is set to be called from ini file.

All is fine with no errors, except that the reload takes more than 30 seconds to finish. Even manually calling the function from MDI takes that long. On the other hand, clicking the reload button on AXIS gui takes less than a second to perform the reload. Also, manually issuing the "axis-remote --reload" from terminal takes just a second or so. Am I missing something here?

Thank you

I tried looking up similar issues in the mailing list, but didn't manage to find anything....and I don't know how to ask new questions there! :\
