You may have some speed gain with that, but it won't be that great (I'm quite surprised to see it got twice as fast). What makes $read() slow is that it opens and closes the file once for every call – thus, using $read() only once is perfectly ok. Your code is no different: open the file, perform a seek, read a line, close it.

This one will keep the file open for 5 seconds after it is read, reusing the handle if other people join the channel. (note: not tested, not benchmarked, but I'm pretty sure it will be faster)

ON ^@*:JOIN:#channel: {
  if ($fopen(kicklist)) { .fseek kicklist 0 }
  else { .fopen kicklist "path to your text file" }
  .fseek -w kicklist $nick
  if ($fopen(kicklist).err) { .fclose kicklist }
  else {
    if (!$fopen(kicklist).eof) { kick # $nick }
    .timerkicklist-close -io 1 5 .fclose kicklist
  }
}
