@Burg"6. Kernels that match your hardware is sane, but we are only talking a few percent here"True -- unless you have a SMP processor (dual procs or dual cores). In that case, it can double your speed in many situations. Unless its changed recently, the base i386 kernel doesn't include SMP support.
I was actually talking about preload, which keeps commonly used apps in RAM.Prelinking I'd imagine is similar to Mac OS X's prebinding, storing shared libraries in the app staticlly as opposed to dynamically for a performance boost.

Does flash work in 64 bit ubuntu yet? It didn't approx 1 year ago when I tried it (unless you were prepared to do some workaround hack)
