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.
