Domain profiles taking forever to log in

I have a mac that is part of a domain, and i use my domain credentials to log onto it. Works great obviously when it is connected to the domain, but when unplugged, it takes a minute plus to login. I thought maybe after the first time I logged in OS X would make a local cache of my account, but apparently not, for i heard OS X doesnt cache profiles like windows does. Does anyone know if theres a way to shorten the time it takes to login when not connected to the domain?

Be sure wireless is off and no ethernet connected.

You sir, are a genius.
