Ubuntu – How to check if ureadahead functioning

I got spinning 5400 rpm 1Gb drive.

Booting takes 69 seconds (is it slow?) and /var/lib/ureadahead contains empty directory debugfs. That is why I wonder if ureadahead does its job.

/var directory is on root partition

~ > df
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7        24G   15G  8,1G  65% /
udev            3,9G  4,0K  3,9G   1% /dev
/dev/sda9       705G  143G  562G  21% /data
/dev/sda8        29G   24G  4,2G  85% /home

configs seem to be default

~ > cat /etc/init/ureadahead.conf|grep -v '#'|grep -ve '^$'
description "Read required files in advance"
start on starting mountall
stop on stopped rc
expect fork
kill timeout 180
normal exit 0
exec /sbin/ureadahead --daemon
pre-stop exec sleep 45

~ > cat /etc/init/ureadahead-other.conf|grep -v '#'|grep -ve '^$'
description "Read required files in advance (for other mountpoints)"
start on mounted DEVICE=[/UL]* MOUNTPOINT=/?*
expect fork
normal exit 0 4
exec /sbin/ureadahead --daemon $MOUNTPOINT

Strangily /var/log/upstart/ureadahead.log.1.gz contains almost only "Ignored relative path" or "No such file or directory" tagged entries.

root:/var/log# zcat upstart/ureadahead.log.1.gz |grep -v "Ignored relative path"

On bootchart ureadahead appears on 16th second and lasts less than a second. Compare to https://superuser.com/questions/286571/ubuntu-slow-startup-time-modprobe where ureadahead starts immediately after plymouthd
