What's your goal behind doing that? Unless you're pitching a butt load of yeast, it's just going to delay fermentation start.
If you have healthy yeast, pitch it just a few degrees below goal max ferment temp, and ramp it up. A homebrew batch should be done fermenting in 3-4 days, or you're either pitching too few yeast, poor health yeast, or too cold fermentation temps.
A fast ferment will lead to a cleaner, healthier product.
If you're not saving portions of your yeast cakes, your missing out. It's basically free yeast, and usually in better condition then anything in a package (so long as your sanitary practices are good.)
