What SuSE actually do is optimize for a "generic" use case. In essence,
they preload the display managers, Firefox and OpenOffice. And they get
these program starts much more responsive as a result.
It will be pointless for users using neither program (well we all have
the display managers), of course.
(I guess I would personalize it to preload emacs and gnome-terminal but
that's just me...)
