RStudio Running Significantly Slower than Base R

RStudio IDE
1

I have come to realize that running scripts in RStudio processes significantly slower than running the same script in base R.

An example:
system.time( fread("networkDrive/[844,635x33].csv",
na.strings=c("","NA"), strip.white = TRUE, blank.lines.skip = TRUE))

Base R = 184 seconds
RStudio markdown chunk = 1,464

I am running R version 3.6.3, and RStudio 1.4.1106 on Windows 10, with a X64 based processor.

The slow processing speeds have been present since getting this computer. What else can I look at to investigate why the same script takes a significant amount of time to run in RStudio, but not in Base R?
