When you prelink it nightly on AC and run it at least once on battery, the
saving has been done.

That prelink is being run on battery I repeat is a bug of cron.
it is NOT a bug of cron
how do you imagine this in real life for a notebook
user? in the night the machine is off, so most of the
time when the machine is on AC prelink cron can not
run and start it's job somewhere in the morining
while the user works on his machine
I had a script to disable such jobs automatically, I do it by hand
nowadays.
thank god taht this script is installed per default as
prelink too and only 1 out of 1000 users has the knowledge
how to disable it
however, you said here "it is a bug in prelink" with other words

I have considered developers now as we are on fedora-devel
that was not the point because yu stripped it
there is a huge difference between optimizing in the build-process
and things running repeatly on all users machines as long
they are not remove things by hand
