I like the idea but I don't think there is any need to leave the program 
running.
The first time I run Nautilus, it takes about 8 seconds to load. Firefox 
is about 5 and LibreOffice is about 10.
After that, Nautilus takes approximately 1 second, and Firefox and 
LibreOffice take around 1.5. (These are all just me timing with my 
watch, nothing accurate here)

Maybe we could load those three and then close them; or at least we 
could load the critical components of each so that the users only ever 
see the latter speeds.

Also, this subject is probably off-topic for this list and probably 
wants to go to ubuntu-dev
