SpeedLoad monitors a program's activities and then optimises the application so it loads more quickly. If install programs done their job properly SpeedLoad would have nothing to do, but the sad fact is that most of them only do the bare minimum that is required to get the program up and running and little else.
Our Review: SpeedLoad is an interesting innovation in program utilities - it will analyse the loading process of an application and alter it in such a way as to speed up the loading time. It does this by ensuring that DLLs the application accesses don't overlap with other programs. The benefits may be great for heavy loaders but be aware that backups should be made first!
