Preload is an “adaptive readahead daemon” that runs in the background of your system, and observes what programs you use most often, caching them in order to speed up application load time.

Application “Cold” Startup Time Preloaded Startup Time
Desktop Login 30s 23s
OpenOffice.org Writer 15s 7s
Firefox 11s 5s
Evolution 9s 4s
