I recently discovered the very nice prelink package. apt-get install prelink;
prelink -a will prelink every binary on your system (in unstable at least). I
was looking forward to a nice speedup in KDE,
however, prelinking every KDE binary fails with the message "Cannot prelink
against non-PIC shared library /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3"
So now I have some questions: Does prelinking the KDE libraries still do any
good? I haven't used a stopwatch, but I don't notice any difference. Why is
QT position-dependent code, and can it be made position-independent? Is it
possible to get a fully prelinked KDE in Debian unstable?
