301 This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
302 It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
303 or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
304 (in particular when a CPU boundprocess is running) it can
305 significantly speed up system startup.
306
307 As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to
