Hi, > Prelink is also available for other linux/unix variants ... and it > doesn't hog resources after it is done :) Yes, interestingly enough, after having run for quite some time, it seemed to ave finished about the time I was halfway through typing my original message. Wanting to understand what it was, I still wondered at what it was, so I decided to go along and post the message anyway. :) > On initial install, it prelinks the libraries ... which takes a > significant amount of time.

There's of course no issue for me if Prelink is hogging up the machine for a limited time upon setting up the machine, just as long as afterwards it doesn't do so anymore to these extremes. Cheers!
