So in this case you get even more boost. Try installing LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) – you’ll be surprised to see that it’s hell a lot nicer than XFCE and a whole lot lighter!!!

Remember that whenever there is an article "Increase the speed..." "Speed up your ...", people make the mistake of measuring the times of the applications after they have been open at least once before in the same session, and the application always opens faster after the first time because that is how cached memory works by default in Linux. Only measuring the first time you open the application after rebooting the system is valid. “Preload” seemed really interesting to me if the modules are preloaded in the cache as Linux does by default after an application is opened the first time, but experimenting with Preload I don’t get better results.

It puts less GUI load on systems. However today's PCs with quad cores, 4GB RAM and dual GPU graphics can easily handle Linux's low load GUI be it Gnome or KDE, programs like preload improve I/O which is the need of the day.

It provided the info I searched for: "Can preload help me?" And using a lighter DE is no option for me, since I really like my KDE 4 - I just want to get that reactiveness bonus. It would be very itneresting for me to know how performance changes, if I set preload to also keep smaller libs in ram. Many thanks for your article!
