I was willing to keep some of the apps in memory and let them occupy my memory in favour of faster startups of those apps. I have not idea how to do this. Any clues on how this can be accomplished?

Do check your swap usage before trying this out since extra swapping could rob away the benefits of keeping programs in memory. You can have your most frequently used programs in the session startup list. Also, some programs like Mozilla and Galeon support running as "server" processes. You could run the "server" process at session startup and simply modify your launchers or shortcuts to connect as clients rather than spawning new processes.
