Not much. But anyway firmware should already come prelinked.
Not much means that for GUI apps same trick is used as kdeinit does for KDE so prelinking is not that critical for speed. It saves some memory though.

prelink is also in maemo repository (both 2.x and 3.x) so you can apt-get it and prelink system including your apps
