"""
Working on some code to preload X/GNOME startup-related data into memory
during boot. Booting on a Linux machine takes longer than with XP, and
that just plain sucks. The preloading I am working on should prevent the
pathological seeky read of many smalls files that occurs during desktop
bring up, by doing that I/O in the background, earlier, and not
serializing everything into I/O wait hell.

i've wanted to do this for ages, but i'm useless. 
glad someone is actually tackling it!

mvg,
Alex
