This might be a silly question but how do I actually perform this
pre-linking act. I've only just upgraded to MDK 8.0 from 6.5 so I've never
had this problem before, but I have noticed a considerable difference in KDE
startup time since performing the re-install...

          The claim is 30 to 50% faster.  In my experience with
objprelink'g, 
        50% is conservative, it's even faster than that. Apps like Kmail and

        Konqueror are ready to go in under 1 second. Using Mosfet's Liquid 
        theme with System++ decorations increases it to just a hair over 1 
        second.  KDE2.2 w/o prelinking, times were about 4 to 5 secs using
the 
        default themes.

          I can't comment on actual loading time for just KDE because I 
        autostart 2 applications on all desktops. One of which is Gqview to 
        display random background .jpgs from a dir that has 42,000+ pics in
it. 
        Still KDE loads in much less than 1 minute, more like under 30
seconds.
        IIRC, w/o prelinking it wasn't that much slower.  It's never been 
        minutes.
