By default Ubuntu is fast enough. But
that does not mean that you should not wish it to be even faster. As you
might have noticed that some of the programs or applications in Ubuntu
take relatively high time in starting. This may be annoying if you use
the concerned program frequently. So if you wish your Ubuntu to be
faster with these applications, Preload is the must have package for you.
What is Preload?
Preload is a daemon application and runs
in the background. Preload analyzes the user behavior and tracks what
applications are run frequently by the user. Based on these analysis, it
predicts what application the user might run next and fetches those
binaries and their dependencies into memory and hence increases the
startup time of the application.
How to install Preload in Ubuntu?
Type the following command in terminal (ctrl+alt+T):
sudo apt-get install preload
Well, that is it. You don’t need to do
anything else. After a reboot it starts running in background and
magically improves the application startup speed. I have not noticed any
side effects of Preload as of now, I will update if there exist any.
Cheers
