Question about Preload 0.6.3

[binbash]

I installed on Intrepid package for Jaunty from here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/uninea/ubun...ain/p/preload/

Works for now.

I will give it a try, thanks

Thank you! I've just upgraded to preload-0.6.3 after completely removing 0.4-5. Wow! what a difference! It's now re-learning my most frequently used apps and I had forgotten how much longer it takes Firefox and others to load without preload installed and how much faster boot-times are. I'll restart my computer and the apps I want preloaded a few times. That should get me there faster.

Preload should really be installed by default on Ubuntu! I notice a lot posts asking, or complaining that Ubuntu appears slower to launch apps than Windows and Mac, which both have a similar feature. Ubuntu could even pre-configure preload to load commonly used apps such as Firefox, Network Manager, and Nautilus. If a user uses other apps more frequently than the most common, preload will figure it out by itself and adapt soon enough.

Where do I go to suggest this? Brainstorming?

Yep, although it's already been suggested:

Install Preload by default

I've +1'd it btw. I agree, this would be a good default app.

Thanks for finding that. I've +1'd it too. Only 61 votes since October though. Could it just be that not many people know about it? I happened to find out about it by stumbling across an optimization thread myself.

TCould it just be that not many people know about it?

Probably. Unfortunately we're not allowed to use Brainstorm's "promote this idea" images in sigs on this forum, which seems odd. A text link would work fine, though.
