/proc/<n>/maps getting _VERY_ long

Some time ago, the logic for merging VMAs was changing (simplified).
I noticed a couple of applications, specifically things seemed a bit
sluggish when running things that either grow slowly or use lots of
shared libraries:

cw:tty5@tapu(cw)$ wc -l /proc/1368/maps
   5287 /proc/1368/maps

it's totally unusual.

Can anyone tell me why we don't merge such entries anymore?
