Redmine starts slow on Linux

How do I get Redmine to start fast on Linux (CentOS)?

I upgraded all last week: latest Redmine, Ruby, Passenger, etc...

I tried about all I could find in the Redmine forum and other posts of getting it to speed up faster, that is: when requesting the Redmine website after a few hours being idle, it starts slow, but then it's blazing fast.

I am using Apache web server with Passenger. Below my current apache config, please some advice, as I am out of ideas:

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/passenger-4.0.19/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/passenger-4.0.19
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p448/ruby

I solved this by setting up a cron job to request the redmine homepage every 15 minutes:

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://redmine_server/ --stderr - > /dev/null
