If you expect the file to be ASCII, or don't care about the encoding of
non-ASCII characters in it, find-file-literally should be faster than
other methods of reading the file.
I'm not sure whether reverting a file that was originally read by
find-file-literally automatically gets this speed advantage, or you may
need to do the reverting differently, using something like:
(defun my-revert-func ()
"Revert a literal file quickly"
(interactive)
(with-silent-modifications
(delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
(insert-file-contents-literally buffer-file-name)))
