*you need to restart no-PIE binaries after prelink because otherwise no ASLR*

*lol* Fedora != RHEL/CentOS and that said from one running
Fedora in production *but* i am aware that i am *not*
the majority in that case

come on where the numbers of the better performance?

yeah, where you update, reboot, login and start your Firefox
with no ASLR which runs after that 2,3,4,5 days - oh my god
what a nonsense to think the 200 ms at startup of the browser
is worth the time to defeat it

*you have no ASLR at all* in such situations because the
on-time-randomize happens after you started your browser
which keeps running

don't get me wrong but honestly i doubt you are the right person to
discuss such technical stuff
