Speaking of which, on a slightly different topic...

When I boot and auto-login, it takes about 3 minutes before everything is 
all settled down and happy.

If I log out, then log back in again, I'm back within maybe 5 seconds, 
because everything's already in RAM and such.

I bet the thing would boot way faster if it just loaded the entire 
executable for everything it needs to load at the time the program is 
launched, rather than letting demand paging fight it out. I have enough RAM 
to comfortably hold everything I run, so why not?  I guess that'll get put 
in eventually. :-)
