Foundations team, has anyone looked at ureadahead lately to make sure that it still makes sense to include it?

(a) I suspect SSDs don't benefit much from it
(b) I suspect systems with spinning metal drives are also unlikely to have the memory to cache all those files, nor the free IO cycles to spend on caching.
(c) If 90k files are ignored entirely because the paths are all relative, is anything being cached at all?

I realize these are contradictory concerns. :)

Thanks
