Assuming this is the test in question:
https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng/blob/master/stress-mmapaddr.c
then yes, this is expected. The test calls mmap() and munmap() a lot,
and we've made those slower in order to fix a bug.
While it does take pagefaults (which is a better test than some
microbenchmarks), it only takes one pagefault per call to mmap() and
munmap(), which is not representative of real workloads.
Thanks for running the test.
