Sloe to load a program isn't so bad; it's the delay swapping between Moz and tbird ow whatever that I was thinking of. I tend to have lots of virtual desktops (16 in KDE), many used, lots of windows and (in browsers), lots of tabs.
One thing to be careful of on a laptop: prelink runs as a cron job; if the laptop isn't on overnight, it will never run. So you need to either run anacron or run the prelink script manually when you need it (after updating applications and/or libraries).
Red Hat seems to have everything hooked into anacron, so for EL/FC users this shouldn't be a problem.
