I don't like both of them, especially when it's done for applications that I don't use. > I can imagine it is only so when you're waiting to plug it off and do some > hardware upgrade. > > Otherwise, why would you need to wait for it to shut down?

Everytime I close my laptop it takes too much time and it takes battery life too. So I agree with the question. Is it best to remove preloading or is there a better way? There are applications preloaded that I never use, the applications I do use are not preloaded... I know I can change that, but I don't understand the choice made: which applications are preloaded and which are not. Is it not possible to adapt it dynamically? Look which applications are used, preload them and don't preload applications that are not used.
