But it does NOT solve the problem.

Then maybe the issue you really have is not the unpacking, but rather that first-time starts of the exe do not have the advantage of files and shared libraries already having been cached/buffered in memory by the OS, as subsequent starts would have.

There's not a lot you can do in this case...

    I could see one thing - but it just folds the application startup into the machine startup. It isn't really making the time better, just having it happen at a time when you are less likely to be impacted.

    Have a way to just run the application with a no-op to have the OS cache the libraries and files as part of your startup sequence.
