What order of performance degradation to expect? If it is minor, nobody is going to cry about it. My old RH 7.3 systems don't have prelinking, and I don't see them being any slower than FC2 and newer systems that have prelinking...
As I understand it, the biggest impact will be on startup times for big C++ applications -- KDE and Mozilla, maybe OpenOffice.org. I haven't tested extensively, but here we turn off prelinking for exactly this reason.
