Mailing List Archive: prelinking

Theoretically, it should improve the load times of all binaries as it
works by linking the libraries that any binary depends on into the
binary itself.

However, for small (shell/console) programs, prelinking probably won't
show too much of a benefit. You can probably try, but odds are it
won't do too much.

Someone correct me if wrong.
