The exec proc does lots of VM updates and TLB management. The pinned
TLBs on the 4xx require additional management overhead to ensure they
aren't flushed when it is viewed as quicker to just flush the TLB.
The exec proc tests don't accomplish any useful work once the system
resources are allocated, so you are continually turning over the TLB and
any additional managemant will appear in this overhead.

Which is expected....now if we could just extend this to applications, we
would really have something :-)
