I use idle-require for org and w3m in my init.el:

,------------------------------------------------------------------
| ;; ** Idle Require
| 
| ;; load elisp libraries while Emacs is idle
| (if (require 'idle-require nil t)
|     (progn
|       (setq idle-require-symbols
|             '(w3m org))
| 
|       ;; loaded
|       (setq idle-require-idle-delay 5)
| 
|       ;; time in seconds between automatically loaded functions
|       (setq idle-require-load-break 3)
| 
|       ;; load unloaded autoload functions when Emacs becomes idle
|       (idle-require-mode 1)
| 
|       (defun try-idle-require (feature)
|         (when (locate-library (symbol-name feature))
|           (idle-require feature))))
| 
|   (defun try-idle-require (feature)
|     (when (locate-library (symbol-name feature))
|       (require feature))))
`------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe thats useful in this case too?
