How to boost the loading time of programs in Ubuntu?

June 20, 2009

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution I like the most and love to experiment with. Ubuntu is not like other distros, is more user friendly, but it requires some memory more than other distros out there. You will experience some lagging in loading programs while working in Ubuntu. You can boost the loading time of applications in Ubuntu with a single command.

sudo aptitude install preload

This will install preload in your Ubuntu system and you will experience, not faster booting, but faster loading of applications. You will notice that after you have installed preload the applications load faster than before. This is becauseĀ  perload will add a new feature to Ubuntu. It will check the programs you have launched and preload all the library files required to run the program before it request them and the result is much faster starting of applications.

Hope you enjoyed the post.
