Re: Prelink

 

Hi Sergio,

I've investigated Prelink as a part of OS performance research. You can see
it was declined in the performance
document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KzzotAAb9L471PO17Iiojq7jmm47ky5ceFNnHu0u5lA/edit?pli=1>because
Ubuntu uses DT_GNU_HASH
dynamic linker since Feisty which offers almost the same performance, but
it’s safe and doesn’t require costly, invasive and unreliable modification
of system binaries.

Still, if you find or come up with a performance idea not mentioned in the
performance doc or
here<http://shnatsel.blogspot.com/2012/04/5-ideas-that-every-desktop-os-should.html>,
please let us know!
