A little known factoid about the linux kernel. It has an additional 'development' mode, known as 'exec' mode. Basically what this does is search through a binary whenever you start a new program, and pre-caches files it's likely to access. There were a few stability problems initially, which is why it's not on by default (kernels from 2.4 onwards have this support).
To enable it, simply add the line 'exec true' to your/etc/profile.
It should be enabled in global files, to allow all users to gain the benefit.
