Most CD-rom based games that I play are able to use a program called
daemon-tools. This is a cd-rom emulator and let's you use a cd-image
instead of inserting the game disc to play. This eliminates all of the
latency of a cd-rom drive, plus the "cd" never spins down.
You can find the program [freeware] at:
