Also, while prelink process has been fairly expensive some years ago, it is much faster these days; if you haven't installed any rpms in the last day, most of the days the cron job will just quit, if you have installed some, for libraries/binaries that don't need reprelinking it will just do a quick stat and nothing else, and even a full prelink takes just a minute or two.
So what got faster, prelink or hardware?
My experience, some years ago, was that a full prelink took 35-40 minutes. Since I didn't see any visible difference in performance I added "turn off prelink" to my list of things to do after installing Fedore.
