Default Speeding up the importing of data from file

I am using the following to import binary data from a file and convert
to hexadecimal. Is there a different way to do this that would be
faster? I got list help last year to speed up my checksum routine by
putting the data into a variant. I was able to also us it for saving
to a file too. I need some of the same magic importing file data. File
size can be over a meg in size and is taking minutes to load.

Dim fs, f, ts, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFile(FileNameWithPath)
Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault)
ColumnCount = 3
RowCount = 1
Do While ts.atendofstream = False 'Loop to fill column with HEX
numbers
DecimalByte = Asc(ts.Read(1))
HexByte = Hex(DecimalByte)
Cells(RowCount, ColumnCount) = HexByte
RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop
ts.Close
