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.
