I am already using ureadahead and preload for a long time. It works fine, but I often have to use Microsoft Office 2010, which is installed with PlayOnLinux. The first load of Word, Excel or Powerpoint needs a long time. The second load time of these applications is okay.
So I am wondering if there is the possibility to preload these applications? Can anybody help me how to do this?
I found out that there is also a "wine-preloader", but I couldn't find out how it can help me in this case exactly. It's also a little bit confusing to me if the first longer load time is because of PlayOnLinux' virtual machine or because of Wine's loading of the specific application.
So my explicit questions are:
- What exactly and how can I preload anything to speed up the first start of the Office Applications?
- Can I keep the preloading, also if there is a longer idle time of not using the office applications? (to avoid that there is i.e. 60 minutes later a behaviour like the "first load" again)
- Of course I am thankful for other tipps as well. Please avoid instructing me to use Libre- or OpenOffice. I know :) But this is not the topic here.
Thanks a lot!
