An option to set preload to an earlier time in startup.

If preload data is saved on a single big file it could accelerate startup by sequentially storing it to L1 cache before startup so random reads after preload would be handled by L1 cache instead of HDD or SSD.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Actually you have this option under the prefetch options.

How soon is the preload performed if "Start at Windows Boot" is enabled? When windows starts or when you log in? Can it be performed prior to windows start?

Well, when we designed the prefetch feature, we did try to improve the boot speed as you suggested. We tried and tested a lot of implementations. Unfortunately, all results were not exciting. This might be because Windows already has its prefetch feature for boot applications...
