What is m/prefetch?

m/prefetch utilize system built-in RAM cache feature to accelerate software open speed, by read user defined files on background every a period of time. For example Windows has Superfetch, however it usually won't cache files what user really want.

As a prefetcher, it's mainly purpose is to tell the system what files are user really need: most of the system have no related settings. On Windows, user can only turn off or turn on entire Superfetch instead of choose what file to cache. Another reason is modern Windows bundled with a lot of background services like Windows Update, SFC scan, chkdsk scan, Windows Defender, Telemery... These service accesses a set of files frequently, when they read these files a hundred of times, user may only open their program once, finally loot the chance of a user file being cached.

By use m/prefetch, user can increase file cache priority to make sure the files are cached before really use.
