What do you do if you have a box where readahead makes boot slower?
rpm -e readahead?
You can, but it does seem odd to install something tha makes the system less efficient. I should do more testing on laptops; I know at least on some it slows things down.
Okay, I admit I actually take the more drastic solution of removing it from comps.xml. I don't remember the numbers, but it was definitely making my FC4 laptop boot more slowly. I haven't given it another chance.... And on non-laptop systems that don't reboot often, it's basically pointless anyway.
