Preload

Today I have read an article about Preload.The article says that Preload drastically speeds up the Linux system.Is anyone here using this? Would you recommend this application?
RAM 2 GB,Pentium dual core 2.5 Ghz
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

 

I don't really get it. Just looks like prefetch to me.

 

According to the descriptions I was able to Google, it pretty much is prefetch.

 

its same kinda prefech

great app didnt try it.

 

hmmmm i tried it today some apps on opening goes cpu upto 60-70 on mint 12 for sec or so so its great not a bad deal as far speed concern its make app start really fast after

tweaking writer memory + preload its open very fast like using puppy Linux + Abiword


edit: you notice speed diffrence after opening app on second time those apps you regualry use close open ....etc you notice diffrence

also there things like zram i tried it on xubuntu it used lot of cpu on decrypting cache .....etc so i didnt like it much but this thing sure looks good

 

Some distros like Fuduntu and PCLOS have preload running by default. I have tried it in the past and it made some difference but however with my AMD Bulldozer CPU with 16GB RAM and 7200rpm drive, I don't see or feel any difference.

 

agree linuxforall but here running good i feel diffrence to be honest maybe because i am using it 1st time

linux mint 12

core 2 duo 2.66

6 gb ram

external hardisk which is sata in external casing support of usb 2

 

Its a must on my netbook, makes good difference.
