Due to fewer +relocations, the run-time memory consumption decreases as well (especially +the number of unshareable pages). The prelinking information is only used +at startup time if none of the dependent libraries have changed since +prelinking; otherwise, programs are relocated normally. + +There is a script in the prelink documentation directory that is suitable +for a cron job. Before setting up a cron job, first run prelink on the +system and then read the script and modify it as needed. + +This requires libelf. |
