Title:
  precise+1 should include prelink

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I have been doing some tests with prelink on my machine, and things
  run at least start ASTRONOMICALLY faster with prelink installed in
  precise - for instance libreoffice apps start for me in about 2
  seconds, chromium is instantaneous, it is truly amazing how well this
  works!

  I have used prelink in Fedora before, of course, but never have I seen
  this kind of speed boost! I guess with the overhead of SELinux it is
  not as noticeable. I hope this is seriously considered though, at
  least for ubuntu-3d if not 2d since RAM availability is surely a
  factor and likely 2d users don't have much RAM. Perhaps there is a way
  to configure it based on available RAM instead of guessing based on
  dekstop usage, I'm not sure.

  All I know is the difference is amazing, and given the popularity of
  boot performance, I think start up times of every app will give a
  significantly more impressive feel for users as well.
