  • vmtouch

    • It is a mainstream thing. It's enabled by default on every Windows install, as far as I know, although you may not be impressed by its understanding of what your frequently opened programs are. It's been about ten years since I ran Windows, but I used to have a batch script to read everything in a directory so that it would be in the disk cache and subsequent accesses would come from RAM. The Linux equivalent of my script is vmtouch, although that's a lot more full-featured.
