Speed up xubuntu by using more memory?

[Matías Szeftel]

It' alsmost like you two are kidding about this. ;) But it is possibe
that you've never heard of this: use prelink.
Sometimes the difference is more noticeable, but I guess it can always
help. Be aware that the first prelink will take quite some time, so be
patience.

some instructiones:

1. sudo apt-get prelink
2. sudo vi /etc/default/prelink
3. Change where it says PRELINKING=unknown from "unknown" to "yes"
4. sudo /etc/cron.daily/prelink

Regards, Matías
