Abstract
Described is a technology for preloading modules, such as modules that show clinical/medical data maintained at a service, so as to reduce a user's wait time to use a module. The modules for which a user is authenticated are preloaded according to a loading order that is based upon the user's historical usage data. If a user interacts to use a selected module that is not yet loaded, the selected module may be loaded immediately, independent of the order. A background thread preloads the modules according to the order. A normal thread loads the selected module, unless already being preloaded by the background thread; in either situation the loading thread's priority may be temporarily increased to expedite loading. The historical data may be in the form of weight values associated with the modules, with the weight values adjusted based upon module usage.
