Stephan Aßmus eb2bd0e8e3 axeld: ...

* Implemented a way to do asynchronous pre-fetching when mapping files.
* There are slight code duplications in some places that could benefit
  from cleaning up, but nothing too bad.
* Implementing smarter ways to trigger prefetching and more analysis of
  the situations in the kernel would be nice. Currently up to 10 MB
  of every mapped file are pre-fetched without further analysis.
* The speed improvement is nice for certain operations. On our test
  system (real hardware), Firefox took 9 seconds from being launched
  to display a window. Now it takes 5 seconds. Both measurements
  right after booting. The same system took 35 seconds from launching
  Haiku in the GRUB menu to displaying the Tracker desktop background
  image. Now it takes 27 seconds.
* We didn't have the chance to check out the effects of this on the
  CD boot, but potentially, they could speed it up a lot.

graphics

added 'block_acc' option in nvidia.settings to completely disable the acceleration engine. This lets my G72 run (not crash) for the first time when enabled. Note: Haiku becomes very slow in drawing in 32bit mode when the driver is running this way compared to vesa mode. I am assuming this is because of (too) fine-grained calling of the engine management functions. Never saw this effect AFAIK in BeOS.
