Question of the necessity of rebaseall


Imagebase in PE header is something a bit of optional, that means if two dlls with same imagebase, the OS kernel will automaticly relocate one of them, to put them in different virtual spaces. So, rebase should be a utility for optimizing the overall start-up speed, to reduce avoidable relocations, rather then fix start-up errors.

Any idea?
