I must confess I based my comments regarding Arjan conclusions based on the (excellent) lwn article describing his talk and the few comments he made on this article, since it was the only material available at the time I wrote my blog entry. Slides don't contain enough informations to be useful and from a a quick look at moblin.org, only source code of sReadhead seems available.

But I'll be happy to read more about your findings in the future and if they can be incorporated in a general Linux distribution.

Hello Frederique

Thanks a lot for both working on this, and for writing a somewhat detailed description of what you have been doing (which should help improving the whole "Linux desktop" landscape).
