You mean new as in additions to trinity ?
The only recent chance that might be relevant is that now, when I create
struct iovec's to pass to syscalls, I populate them solely with results
from mmap's rather than a mix of mmaps and mallocs.  The mmaps could be
all kinds of sizes, types etc. [*]  So now there's more chance I guess
that an iovec contains a bunch of hugepages, or read-only pages etc.

I took another slightly longer trace of what's going on at
http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/trace2.out
But it looks to me to be pretty similar.
