Application 'launch-cache'...

is there such thing as a type of cache (within the os / system) memory 
that could be increased so that a large application that is continually 
being launched successively would load faster?

does the Finder cache some 'open' results in RAM??

i can not load the program from a RAM disk - i don't think...  too may 
other support files etc...

would there be some sort of cache associated with the BSD subsystem?

or would this be a Jaguar System type cache?

or maybe it just doesn't exist.

just curious for now.

i have xgrid set up to do distributed rendering on my Micro-Cluster© ...

and the rendering software takes as long to launch as it does to 
actually do it's task...

so i figured if i could get the app to launch faster i could kill some 
overhead?

possible?

thanks.
