Speeding up start-of-print.

I'd like to make a request of Simplify3D that none of. the slicers I've used so far (intentionally ambiguous statement) have.
The option to change the heating/home ordering for efficiency.
Currently, it looks like: set bed temp ; wait for bed temp ; set extruder temp ; wait for extruder temp ; home.
Much faster would be: set bed temp ; set extruder temp ; home ; wait for bed temp ; wait for extruder temp.
Perhaps after the "home" one could raise Z by 40cm, so the operator can take care of any potential oozing as the extruder comes up to temp. Also, homing near the start avoids oozing over some random part of the build area.
