Would it mean that certain programs that use a lot of local files slow down their startup? Would it mean that file explorer loads each folder slower? Or does it go along with the internet push idea that its precaching your favorites and commonly connected websites?

I think the idea is that it's pre-loading a lot of data that isn't necessarily going to be used by you that could be used for something else. If the data is in memory, I would think that the CPU has to keep track of what is there, so disabling it should also free up some CPU power, but I don't know about that.
Here is the post that explains it a little. Otherwise, I have no idea what it pre-caches or how it determines what should be pre-cached and what shouldn't
