I've had various problems doing a universal prelink in other distros. I wouldn't recommend it prelinking your whole system. Even though Yoper does it if you examine it it has special ld_library paths or whatever, etc. I'd say about 75% of apps in mac os x are 'prebinded'.

I do, however, recommend prelinking Openoffice as it'll cut down the load times in half. Instead of 15 seconds to load OpenWriter, for instance, it'll only take 7 seconds. Sure you can have that openoffice thing load on start but that'll waste memory resources if you don't use it all the time.

sudo apt-get install prelink
sudo /usr/sbin/oooprelink -f

I definitely noticed some improvement from this.

thanks.

I wonder if prelink has still errors on amd64? Does anybody know? I want to try it out.
