Linux Preload is a Linux daemon that stores commonly-used libraries and binaries in memory to speed up access times; similar to Windows Vista's SuperFetch function. This article looks at Preload and gives some insight into how much performance is gained for its total resource cost.

Those two approaches are complimentary and are in fact written by the same Red Hat developer. Prelink was introduced in FC2 IIRC and hash was introduced in Fedora Core 6 first

soon as Ubuntu users stop thinking every article is an ubuntu article.
but seriously its good to point out who writes these things cause it appears fedora/redhat are writing a majority of the stuff these days but nobody is giving them credit just using the software.
Ubutnu pays marketing to get certain ideas across in the press whats wrong with fedora's way of marketing which is "we wrote that"

The article isn't about Ubuntu. The thread isn't about Ubuntu. And you're the first person dragging Ubuntu into the discussion.

Priceless. You guys kill me.
