One of the speeding up while not on boot but in operation can be
preload
which I have uploaded to bugzilla already and needs a sponsor.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333491
http://sourceforge.net/projects/preload
I'll quote from their page.
"preload is an adaptive readahead daemon. It monitors applications that
users run, and by analyzing this data, predicts what applications users
might run, and fetches those binaries and their dependencies into memory
for faster startup times."

Hi,
is that "preload" also caching the files that it puts in its list?
if that's the case than this program would be a wonderful program to
have in fedora.
Assuming the program is doing the following: you just work on your
computer and that daemon is registering all files that you access. the
most used files(?) are getting cached at next boot right?
@the other replies
i agree that it shouldn't just cache some pre set programs.. some
users might not use them and that will bee a pure waste of memory..
but it was just a idea to get this caching of the ground in Fedora.
The best thing would be the assumption that i've written above (or
that's what i think would work best). In my case Pidgin would be (or i
would add it) in the list because i use it quite often.
More brainstorming on this would be cool.
And what are the current caching systems? wasn't there a Google SOC
(Summer Of Code) about the caching this year.. and how did that one
ended up?
