Well I tryed it and benchmarked it using bootchart and its even _worse_ then readahead that we decided to disable.Those people running preload can we get some benchmarks to see whether there is a benefit and if so how much of a benefit there is. I ask this because I got a post on the from Rahul asking whether there was any significant benefit running preload. I personally don't have any numbers so I'm going to try and start to benchmark the information.
No preload: 57 sec With preload: 1m 25sec ie. ~50% slowdown
