Speed up your Desktop and the boot-process
Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 8:00 pm
You can speed up the start of applications (which is imho a significant boost - at least on my machine all is 2-3times faster!!) by installing prelink
simply
then edit
and change the line
to
search the line
and change it to
save the file and the type
and wait a while till it's finished
DONE
Now you will have a performance boost while loding applications (i.e firefox, openoffice and so on...)
if you want to speed up the boot process, you can add the word profile to the end of the line your grub bootloader shows at startup (graphical bootloader) else hit the appropriate key (sometimes F2) on your machine to add this argument to the list
(this time the boot process is a little slower but from the next boot on it will be faster)
enjoy your faster machine
