About the only thing you can do (and it might create some other glitches,
depending on the amount of memory) is hack on a copy of the application with
resedit. Go through the thing opening up the various types of resources and
do a 'Get Info' on each resource. Then click on the 'preload' checkbox.
Resources with 'preload' set will load in at the beginning of the execution,
although there is no guarantee they won't be purged.
