Oxygenating the wort. This type of set-up can drastically reduce your lag time. This one includes a .5 micron aeration stone, a 2 micron filter, a disposable oxygen tank, and a modified regulator (to fit a 3/8" or 1/4" hose). Used in conjunction with a 1000ml starter (from liquid yeast), you should be able to kick start a 5 gallon batch in a couple hours (in most cases). This will certainly help keep contamination to an absolute minimum, and will almost always result in a noticeably better beer.
A good supply of oxygen at this stage also promotes healthy yeast with strong cell walls. This can prevent stalled fermentations as well as excellent attenuation rates.

I couldn't quite believe the sheer scale of this storm cloud heading towards Headingley... if you look hard enough there's a black speck in the middle of it - that's a huge airliner!
Strange brew -- kill what’s inside of you.
She’s a witch of trouble in electric blue,
In her own mad mind she’s in love with you.
With you.
Now what you gonna do?
Strange brew -- kill what’s inside of you.
She’s some kind of demon messing in the glue.
If you don’t watch out it’ll stick to you.
To you.
What kind of fool are you?
Strange brew -- kill what’s inside of you.
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea,
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored.
And wouldn’t you be bored?
Strange brew -- kill what’s inside of you.
Strange brew, strange brew, strange brew, strange brew.
Strange brew -- kill what’s inside of you.
