Not as such, and if there were it probably wouldn't be an overall
performance win anyway, because you'd hurt your maintenance tasks.
What you might consider doing is, at the end of the EOD sequence,
run some dummy queries that scan the tables you use normally, causing
them to get swapped back in so the cache is already primed when people
come to work in the morning.
