+This paper presents data on current            
+application start-up pessimizations (on-demand 
+loading), relevant numbers on real-life        
+harddisk seek times in a running system        
+(measured from within the kernel), and shows   
+and demonstrates possible improvements, both   
+from userspace and in the kernel. On a side    
+note, changes to the GNU linker are discussed  
+which might help. Very preliminary experiments 
+have already shown a four-fold speedup in      
+starting FireFox from a cold cache.
