Is there an option to spin up the disk as soon as a key is pressed?

Hi,
Can you set rockbox to start the disk spinup in the background as soon as
any key is pressed? 9 times out of 10 when I touch a button on the jukebox,
i have to go into menus etc, THEN wait for the disk to spin up. IMHO it
would be nice to have an option to start the disk spin up as soon as a menu
is first drawn, in preparation for the enivitable disk access soon. Vol + or
- is the expection to this. I think this would make Rockbox appear a lot
more responsive.

I find on my iRiver, the battery life is not an issue at all, so would be
happy to put up with the loss of play time.

cheers
