From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml:
Most common applications make use of shared libraries. These shared
libraries need to be loaded into memory at runtime and the various
symbol references need to be resolved. For most small programs this
dynamic linking is very quick. But for programs written in C++ and that
have many library dependencies, the dynamic linking can take a fair
amount of time.
Gnome is written in C and doesn't have this issue. Gnome startup is
pretty fast. If you upgrade to the latest Gnome 2.14.x, startup is
*very* fast. My AMD64 3200+ logs in to Gnome in only about 2 seconds
from startx. I am really impressed with the speed improvements in Gnome
2.14 vs 2.12.
So to answer your question, no, it is not needed in Gnome since gnome is
not written in C++ like KDE is.
