Some applications on Ubuntu 12.10 starts very slow. I mean the time between click on app icon and first show on screen.
For example VLC player takes at least 15 seconds.
Is there any way how to speed it up?

To make program loading faster, install the
preload
program, which preloads programs using an algorithm to guess which program you're using next. It may sound bad but it's actually quite efficient.Install it through the
sudo apt-get install preload
in a terminal.
