Yes this is page/cache feature and seen with many apps. If you have a very frequently used app that you want to load fast each time then consider creating a RAM disk. Study Knoppix and Puredyne to see that in action. A start script to load Pd bins into RAM and then set the path to them. Useful for performance situations maybe.
