There are many warm up scripts and exe's that can run against your SharePoint environments to speed up the first time access to any site. These options have worked the best for our infrastructure. personally the first works well and has useful options.
Setup a scheduled windows task which launches your selection, running under an account that has relevant access, every morning before start of business. The web application is hit and every page iterated in the site.
SPWakeup : http://spwakeup.codeplex.com/
A simple application that touches each site and site collection on a Sharepoint
or WSS server to rebuild the IIS cache.
This is compatible with Win 2008 R2 and SharePoint 2010, nice touch is the email letting you know it's been run.
Powershell Script : http://www.jonthenerd.com/2011/04/19/easy-sharepoint-2010-warmup-script-using-powershell/
The script loads the SharePoint plugin, enumerates the zones, and sends a
request to each one.
