That doesn't sound to me as if a full prelink was performed. I've
just run 'prelink -av' on a recently installed RHEL4 system. There
were hundreds of lines of 'Prelinking <pathname>' output.
With a Pentium III running at 850MHz this took 45 minutes 38 seconds
of real time and 39 minutes 49 seconds of CPU.
