Sure, you could probably do that now Thom, if you want to preload everything into memory, like Windows does. But then those poor blokes with only 128mb or even 256mb of ram are sure going to be doing a bit of swapping, huh? ;o)
If 3-4 seconds out of your day proves to be life threatening, then maybe using a computer is something you shouldn't do. By the time you move the mouse pointer to start another app, the shell window is open! Of course, there is always Opteron & SCSI drives! :o)
You missed the point entirely! 9.1 IS slower than prior releases, and it of course shouldn't be. I have a fresh install on my dual PIII 600Mhz IBM Intelistation (SCSI) with 1G of RAM. It's SLOW.

Then my first guess would be that short between the keyboard and chair Fred, as I have setup a customer's machine, 533mhz Celeron, and it's quite nice, even using the built-in graphics! Not something that I would want to use, but adequate just the same and again comparable or better than when it had 8.2 or 9.0 installed.
