That should be sufficient, yes.

Probably it can't be faster than that on my pc
I have a question jdong...
I had a look in my /etc/readahead folder.It also contains a file titled "desktop".
Does the profile command generate this file as well?If not how is this file generated and is it possible to "reprofile" it for a boost?

The "desktop" file is only generated/used for LTSP/Edubuntu setups, where /usr and /var are on different partitions. If you're looking to accelerate GNOME/KDE or another application's startup via readahead, sadly this is not supported. In fact, I'm not sure... we might already be using the readahead technique to its full potential

Hi jdong!
Can I translate this to spanish and put it on my blog, referencing it here?
Certainly! Go right ahead
