The second time you launch an application, it uses the cache
(assuming the cache is turned on and the stuff in the cache
has not been flushed).  Thus, the second time you launch an
application, it will be faster since the machine does not 
have to access the disk.

P.S. To check this, look in the control panel at the General CDEV.
There is an item there to control the status of the cache (size
and whether it is on or off).
