prep carbon with boiling water

Anyone use this procedure for prepping their carbon ? :Rinse well, then cover with near boiling water and let sit for 24 hrs, then rinse with RO/RI or let sit for 10 min then put in RO/RI for 24 hrs (read various methods). Its suppose to improve the absorption rate by a fair amount.
