Shortly, prelink is a tool to speed up the application's boot,
It must be run "offline" before to run the application, it resolve all 
Relative relocation of the application and his needed libraries so the 
dynamik linker doesn't need to this when the application start.
A white paper you can find at

Writted by Jakub Jelinek, the prelink manteiner.
