sreadahead 1.0-5 (ia64 binary) in ubuntu karmic

 sreadahead is a daemon that reads data sequential by use from
 disk. It does this by retrieving the read order (in timestamp
 format) from an actual boot sequence and storing a list of data that
 was read during that boot sequence in a flat database.
 .
 On the next boot this file can be used to load all the data described
 in the database into memory and in order of use.
 .
 sreadahead requires a kernel patch included in the Ubuntu kernel.
