Preload (software)

Preload (software)

preload is a Free Linux program written by Behdad Esfahbod which runs as a daemon and records statistics about usage of programs using Markov chains; files of more frequently-used programs are, during a computer's spare time, loaded into memory. [http://behdad.org/preload.pdf Preload — An Adaptive Prefetching Daemon] , Behdad Esfahbod, 2006.] This results in faster application startup times as less data needs to be fetched from disk. preload is often paired with prelink.
