Fix Python Script Sync Delay

I run several Python scripts that pass data back and forth by writing to and reading from shared files. Everything works function-wise, but there’s a lag: values written by one script are not picked up quickly enough by the others, and the whole workflow stalls for a few seconds each cycle. I need that delay eliminated (or at least reduced to milliseconds).

Your job is to pinpoint why the hand-off is slow—whether it’s file-system latency, missing flushes, locking logic, or anything else—and then adjust the code or workflow so each script sees the latest data almost immediately. A clean, well-commented solution is essential; I also want a brief note explaining what you changed so I can maintain it going forward.

If you’re comfortable diagnosing synchronization bottlenecks, working with file I/O, and fine-tuning Python for real-time coordination, I’d like to get this fixed quickly.
