I've sometimes thought about this issue in the past - you're doing a lot of 
things that Windows does during its boot process when you load an 
application.

Is there a way (or would it be a handy feature for there to be a way) to 
"preload" this, like running a wineserver process (if that's what handles a 
lot of the overhead) as a kind of daemon at login or something?

Just my €0.02's worth :)
