Comment 117 for bug 432089

This bug was fixed in the package ureadahead - 0.90.3-2

---------------
ureadahead (0.90.3-2) karmic-proposed; urgency=low

  * über-readahead is a replacement for sreadahead that should
    significantly improve boot performance on rotational hard drives,
    especially those that had regressed in performance from jaunty to
    karmic.

    It does this by pre-loading such things as ext2/3/4 inodes and opening
    files in as logical order as possible before loading all blocks in one
    pass across the disk.

    On SSD, this behaves much as sreadahead used to, replacing that package
    with slightly improved tracing code.

    This requires the kernel package also found in karmic-proposed.

    LP: #432089.
