Preload files to memory

[CurlyMo]

When you don't actually 'move' data around, i believe preloading doesn't make much sense...

BartOtten once had an setup in which he did something like this:
1) Create a new home folder for XBMC e.g. /home/xbian/.xbmc-pers
2) Move all data from /home/xbian/.xbmc to /home/xbian/.xbmc-pers
3) Make /home/xbian/.xbmc an tmpfs
4) On boot, copy the data from /home/xbian/.xbmc-pers to /home/xbian/.xbmc
5) On reboot or shutdown, Sync /home/xbian/.xbmc with /home/xbian/.xbmc-pers so you don't loose data.

Of course on big libraries the memory is too small to put the whole .xbmc folder in a tmpfs so you need to choose what you do and do not load into memory. The rest can become symlinks.

That's what i was suggesting.
