There is a thread on the kde-linux mailing list about a kde-developer who came up with a very simple means of gaining between 30-50% decrease in startup times for kde and its various apps by prelinking object files in a build. The actual link to the messages describing it is: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=99618500904021&w=2 I downloaded the attached file and built it and plan to run it against a few apps during a build process. I am not certain, not being a coder, how one might apply this to a source rpm build. Could someone explain how this simple process/code might be added to the makefiles of source rpms so that the final binary rpm can enjoy the large speed increase? I would like to build all of kde 2.2, qt2, and a number of other apps in a way to take advantage of this simple trick but am not sure how to do it. praedor
