Dataset - File Pattern workaround ?

Hi,
We have 116 files and tried using Sequential file/File pattern read, but reading takes a long time, so thinking of an alternative.
Similar to Sequential file file pattern, is there any workaround to read a pattern of Datasets [using orchadmin commands or so] ?
Thanks in advance
Vijay
