Pradeep,
I think you're doing this the hard way.  If you set up a proxy server on
your LTSP server (Squid, for example), then you can tell the local
browsers not to save anything without a slowdown.

This can be faster than the way you're suggesting, since repeatedly
pulling the same picture over the LAN from Squid won't load the
workstation as much as swap thrashing over the LAN will.
