No. Please read /etc/sysconfig/prelink and
PRELINK_FULL_TIME_INTERVAL, only
once per two weeks.
I meant every time prelink is run, not every time the binary is run.

This is again a bug in your backup tool. I backup by duplicity with:
#
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666143
touch /var/lib/prelink/force && time /etc/cron.daily/prelink
time rpm -Vva 2>/dev/null|perl -ne 's/^[.]{7}[.T][.] . // or
next;chomp;print "- $_\n" if -f;' >$RPMSAFE
[...]
--exclude-filelist $RPMSAFE \
You are missing the main point - how much extra CPU and disk I/O is
that going to take during the backup?
