zlauncher cache

[n4cr2k]

I searched the forums, and have been reading the manuals and have not come up with anything. So if this feature already exits in Zlauncher someone please tell me how to turn it on. Anyways, I'm a big memory stick user. I have lots of apps, games, utilities, resources...etc on my memory sticks. I also have a large portion of RAM free. What would be nice is if Zlauncher had an adjustable cache. Where I would tell it how much of the systems RAM i want to set aside, and then Zlauncher would use this space to temporarily store stuff that i've launched from the card. Then the next time i use the card, that app would launch much quicker since it would be launching directly from RAM and not being copied from the memory stick. They could just use a least recently used (LRU) replacement scheme to know what is kept and deleted from the cache. This would give me the best of both worlds in that, all my stuff would still be on the stick, but if i needed to install something large in ram, i could just clear the cache.

Yeah, that would be really cool — With enough free memory, you could switch back and forth between a few programs without needing to wait for them to load up.
