Hmm, seems the contrary of: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/readahead-list/+bug/59716
However, booting with readahead in the foreground (thus stalling the bootprocess), my bootime in edgy is roughly 55 seconds, while it is 47 seconds when readahead is started in the background... And a lot of people at http://www.ubuntuforums.org don't benefit from readahead in the foreground. It seems illogical that readahead can be faster in the foreground - reading ahead large files like all python libraries implicitly used by hplip/kde-guidence and all fonts loaded by X before continuing the bootprocess. -- Readahead should start in the background https://launchpad.net/bugs/70858 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
