You are a bit confused on the way filesystems work. When you access a file, you aren't actually opening each folder in the directory tree to get to it. You are directly accessing that file. You just have to tell the computer where to find it.
For an example open up your local terminal (or whatever it is called on Windows), and do a
cd $path. You will notice for all values of
$path that the execution time will be the same (try a really deep path and see).
