In this case it really is just a case of "these are large, and normally only loaded the once" but it's a shame because prelinking *does* speed up loading of all libraries, especially large ones :) I'd also recommend (in case anyone really does thinking I'm picking on OO) doing the same for e.g. libuninamelist and libgucharmap ... they're big too. Just do "find /usr/lib -size +10M" for the worst offenders ;) Oo. In fact, yes, the eclipse jars are probably another good target ... Really the only good answer is to do the prelinking on demand, so you always know if there's a possible collision between two libraries (if a program loads a shared object - at launch, or via dlload - and it collides with another (loaded) one, pick a new address space slot and prelink it). And no, I don't have the gonads to do it myself :o) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
