Those benchmarks are very interesting. Didn't Stefan Kulow himself wrote a paper with benchmarks about prelinking a few years ago (I remember there were improvements with prelinking)? I looks like newer linker and tool chains seem to have shinked the advantage over time to zero, although my own expieriences with prelinking never showed a big impact, at least not as big as preloading. > The 1 CD install gave overall an expected boost when booting, since the > install is considerably smaller and defragmenting has also some impact > on boot time, but of course nothing on the already preloaded apps. I would have thought that defragmentation after a fresh install would be very very small, i.e. nearly non-existing, am I wrong? Does a very mildly defragmentation on ext3 or reiserfs3 really have a noticeable impact on boot times at all?
