Is there any other readahead implementation around that we could migrate
to? Well, not sure many laptops with SSD are sold in your area but, at
least in mine, most people still have (and buy) setups with rotational
hard drives that have a clear gain when running readahead (well, I can
see it every time I reboot and login on gnome-shell if I don't use
readahead)
