This does not sound right. Do the timestamp on both files indicate that they were updated during profile? desktop should only be updated if /var/ or /usr/ are separate partitions. Your bootchart did not look like the profiling had worked as it should. If it had, no files should be read from disk after the readahead process was done. > Could one win anything by preloading in the background and starting > e.g. udev in the meanwhile?

Benchmarking done on Ubuntu indicated that running it the background was sligthly slower than running it in the foreground. This is why it was changed to run in the foreground, and not in the background as it did initially. > I think I tried this once and it also slowed down the boot > duration. OK. I hope the preload package was not installed when you did the profiling.
