How about using Zeitgeist to help with this? Currently using the 
Privacy manager you can see the frequency of usage of applications. So 
there could a settings which if users enable will preload their most 
commonly used applications (based on zeitgeist). This way you give the 
user the choice to preload or not , and also the preloading of 
applications is done dynamically based on usage.

Thoughts?
