This is not currently possible, although Marek mentioned that he has
been working on this and might have something usable soon.

I ran into a similar concern when dealing with a hosting provider that
times out FastCGI processes after 5 minutes.   After the timeout, the
user would experience the first hit delay again (in the end, I could not
use that hosting service because their Linux is too old to support
Mono).
