It takes 5 mins for the oven to get up to speed, so just add five mins to the cooking time.
It saves making two trips to the kitchen - one to turn the oven on, and again to stick the meal in.
By cutting the number of trips in half, you get more reading time - so this is a relevant topic here.

Is there any advantage to pre-heating?
My only thought is that some people may not bother to add the heating time, and suffer some ill-effect from under-cooked food as a result.
