Sounds like a good idea for the main edition, (and perhaps KDE) though it should be kept out of the XFCE and Fluxbox versions.
Just my thoughts...
OK I'm going to give it a whirl for a couple of days and see if I notice any improvements.
I'll keep you posted!

Re: Make the "Linux Mint" ~30% faster
Please keep in mind that there is a very big difference between "preload" and "prelink."
"preload" is pretty safe and does give somewhat faster start-up times for programs you use regularly.
"prelink" can give increased speed to both startup time and program operations. There are some "gotchas" though. Because libraries are prelinked to executables, there can be problems with upgrading programs or libraries.
I wouldn't recommend doing prelinking on systems that you depend on unless you know what you are doing and are prepared to repair the system when you upgrade programs and/or libraries.
