I used it on a older and pretty slow rig once and it did help. I think
it was 800Mhz with 512Mbs of ram. It also had some much slower IDE

difference.
Some of the googling I did in the wake of the glibc-2.13 debacle
indicated that prelinking makes far less difference wih newer kernels
anyway. Even the old slow box wouldn't get much benefit from it.
I disabled it because of glibc and won't be re-enabling it, but I might
give it a try on this netbook to see if it makes a discernable difference
with a slow CPU and slow drive, or I'll buy it a SSD.
Sounds like it isn't worth the trouble anymore. I think I'll leave it
alone. The new ram may make some things faster tho.
Thanks.
