Eeeeek, imake! :-)
Every time I've played with precomputing cache answers, I almost immediately
run into problems where the answers need to be customized or recalculated,
even for situations which I would have labelled as "common". Even preloading
the cache only saves a little bit of time compared to the time for all
the zillions of tiny files bring created, compiled, deleted.
