A mixed mode could be interesting, where the list is
created by tooling (or pseudo-boot) and then written
down. As someone said on Docker/OS every boot
is first boot, so doing the pre-population then would
not help. But creating the list at image creation time
would dynamically create the list and make the
speedup available to all starts of containers from that
image.
