* look at the amount of updates and how they hit prelinked libraries until prelink ran again * look at the "lsof | grep DEL | grep /usr" output caused by prelink * look at the wasted cycles of running prelink itself and compare to the gain in the past on notebooks i hated prelink and god bless the maintainer which removed the prelink-require out of rkhunter which was pervert most of the time i noticed the weak performance while prelink ran between that i got alarmed all the time by rkhunter-notifies *because* i should prelink this and that file hence - at the end of the day prelink itself consumed more CPU and did more harm as it ever could have gained performance
