Preload could do that I think or readahead from Fedora. Certainly something I want to put enabled at install. IMHO it is inside the scope. Whatever we can do in an out of the box scenario to make things faster or add an experimental feature that we would like we can add in SUPER. Performance enhanced does not only mean speed and I personally rather consider SUPER to be the place we can try things out and be more aggressive than in the stable and general purpose standard SUSE Linux release. Meaning any feature we cannot do in the mainstream release, but want to have tested and maintained we can put into this supercharged repository. Such caching is stricly a speed increase anyhow and as such certainly part of the whole. > BTW, I found a few comments about profiling tools for X on some other > mailing list, Perhaps we could try to integrate all the various tools > into one suite, for easy access > Good idea, fire things through or even better just add them yourself to the SUPER wiki site on opensuse.org.
