Hmm, I wouldn't count on that. The OS improves on that side. For
example, recent Linux kernel (2.6) have an optimized scheduler that
optimizes disk block accesses to reduce disk head moves.
Could it be possible to improve the laziness of the loading?
But, first of all, I would prefer to have a break-down of the load
time. To attack the most costly sub-parts first.

Thank you. It is quite efficient. :)
