opcode: You don't have to turn the dirs into mountpoints to preload them. See the comments for the VFS_Preload section. You append a line like "2 = /" which will cache everything in / and all it's subdirs. Or pick on particular dirs with something like "1 = /Games/Archive" which will just load the /Games/Archive dir.
Hope that helps, but do see if your startup issues go away by switching the Delay= option.
