Hi! Prelinking does modifies libraries and executables so that they can be linked together more easily. I'm not an expert on that, but you can find some more details on [1]. Preloading has nothing to do with this at all. Preloading is about loading files (text, executables, pictures...) into the filesystem cache before they are used. This is done in the background, so that the user feels no slowdown. Then, when an application needs to access that file (usually during startup) the file comes from the cache, not from harddisk, which makes it a lot faster. Strictly speaking, preloading does not make your system faster. You _still_ need to load the data from harddisk. But it is done so that the user doesn't feel it, making the system _feel_ faster.
