So I googled for prelink and now know that it helps preload
libraries
so that progreams can start faster. Which is senseable because the machine
started slowing down when I clicked 'manage bookmarks' in firefox, which
opens another program.
This has nothing to do with the running prelink process.
My question is, what can I do to prevent this from
happening again? Do I have to ust cross my fingers every time I open a new
program?
Prelink is called from a cron script, not as a result of any action you
do. If your machine is turned off at the normal time for the job to run,
it will be run about an hour after you start your machine. The job only
prelinks that binaries that it needs too, so unless you have updated some
libraries or programs, the job should run quickly.
If you choose to disable prelink, you should change the
/etc/sysconfig/prelink configuration file.
