Reg preloading any application ... I hope this will become an easy to use feature in SuSE/openSuSE/SUPER ... its something which has always been missing on Linux :- )
The hooks are in openSUSE already. Nordi is going to put into bugzilla to do more aggressive preloading. In meantime I have found that Nordi's modifications slow the overall boottime down by 6 seconds and do not really provide much benefit with firefox ..... Can more people please try the following methods and give Nordi and me feedback on which one is faster/better: Nordi: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/SUPER_preloading Andreas: http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/10.0_beta2_i686_SUPER#SUPER_preloading my benchmark times on the reference system comparing Nordi's and my method. I just find this very puzzling as I would not have thought there to be such a difference. http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/SUPER_standard_benchmark Ideally in preloading we would need some kind of daemon that creates preload files dynamically depending on what applications the user uses. Those files then have to be put on disc in a manner not to be too far apart and close together with the files used at boot. Ideally preload files and boot files need to be together on the first part of the disc. Such a daemon is certainly way beyond my capabilities, but if there is anyone on here who can program such a daemon, we can put this as an experimental feature into SUPER. Andreas
