There is some misunderstanding here. prelink is run daily and it only prelinks newly installed/upgraded executables, it does not touch already prelinked executables. Once per two weeks it re-prelinks everything. So if your concerns are about changed executables content (for flash wear leveling?) that happens at most once per two weeks. I believe this is negligible change compared to other /var files changing all the time. > You are missing the main point - how much extra CPU and disk I/O is > that going to take during the backup? Less than all the runtime relocations when executing the programs all the time. Please keep at the facts and not trying to find any possible reason why to avoid prelink. prelink is expected even in the original ELF specification, before any such program ever existed, as it is the only logical way how to execute ELF files.
