Speed up application launches with prelink
![HowtTs, tutorials, or tips & tricks, etc. HowTos](../files/category_pictures/1328101914_Config-Tools.png)
Application start up times can be annoying if they are really really slow. Part of this latency is a process where before the executable can run, the OS needs to work out which libraries it needs to kick into action.
This process of working out the right libraries can take maybe even several seconds on slower machines and complex apps and can be a big source of slowdowns on application starts.
That’s where prelink comes in. What prelink does is it pre-calculates which libraries are needed for certain applications and caches this information so that it can be retrieved quickly.
