Yes, this is not because of journal replays: you have a large
volume, and by default all bitmap blocks are loaded to memory
in mount time.

There were complaints that loading bitmaps "on-demand" causes
system lockups, I didn't have a chance to look at this yet. So
I wouldn't recommend to use this mount option for now.
