Comment 2 for bug 318505

Hello Scott,

Thanks for the explanation.

Why is ubuntu not using "preload" ?

FYI,
I replaced "readahead" by "preload" on the below system
and it made it faster:
- CPU: AMD Athlon XP 1500+
- mem: 392 MB
- Ubuntu version: hardy
- minimum total size of the used files of the tracked processes: 4MB
