You probably don't want to remove prelink from the system. This program 
optimizes the speed for loading programs by setting up libraries in a 
more efficient way to load. This program runs periodically and was 
probably correcting the library loading at the time.

Usually when you remove "mono*" it will pull out tomboy, g-spot, beagle 
and other programs which rely on mono.

Regarding removing packages. It is probably good to at least look at 
what the program is supposed to do with rpm using the --info flag to see 
what the program does.

EXAMPLE:
rpm -q --info prelink
Name        : prelink                      Relocations: (not relocatable)

libraries and executables, so that far less relocations need to be 
resolved at runtime and thus programs come up faster.
