If it is, IBM's OS/360 and OS/VS1 and MVS had prior art way back in the 70's. There were *plenty* of products that would look at the system call usage and spit out an ordered load list for SYS1.LINKLIB and SYS1.LPALIB - so the idea of machine-optimizing the list of things to cache for a fast startup is *not* new. I'd not be surprised to find out that somebody did something like that on the 7094 ;)
