As the ticket mentions, the launch_speedup module (in
src/add-ons/kernel/file_cache) is probably worth looking at for starters.
You should definitely familiarize yourself with the file and block cache
implementations (src/system/kernel/cache). I'm afraid there's virtually no
documentation available, so reading the sources is the way to go. If you
have specific questions, just ask here or on the kernel mailing list.
Regarding caching strategies Axel might have some ideas (at least his master
thesis was related). Researching what other operating systems do, is also a
good idea.

This is a big one. I'd strongly recommend to start with some smaller kernel
task (like the precaching) to get in the swing of it.
