Kernel space: On-demand readahead
,----[ Quote ]
| A change in how the kernel pre-reads files for an application could add a
| little extra speed to MySQL databases on Linux.
|
| "Readahead" is the act of speculatively reading a portion of a
| file's contents into memory in the expectation that a process
| working with that file will soon want that data.
