PSEUDO_RELOADED was intended to only be used internally by pseudo.  Specifically
to signify to fork/exec that we're about to run the pseudo server process and to
remove PSEUDO from the LD_PRELOAD on the next fork/exec.

The system simply checks the environment on the fork-exec and doesn't check the
value on pseudo-load.  This is why it works.

That side effect means that any subsequent calls can NOT re-enable pseudo as
it's no longer in memory at all.

So what you are seeing at best is the time difference from avoiding the
LD_PRELOAD and the jump table setup.  (Even when pseudo is disabled, we need to
enable the jump table, we just pass the call to the original function.)

But more then likely because pseudo is no longer memory resident for the called
processes and it's sub-processes.. there is likely some place in the system that
uses pseudo functionality that is no longer functioning properly.

It would be interesting to determine first off, if there is anywhere pseudo
should be running that it currently isn't.  And second if this is simply due to
LD_PRELOAD time, or if enabling the jump table is the culprit.

One potential optimization, when PSEUDO_DISABLE=1 is to only setup the jump
table entries for fork/exec items.

Also if it is desired to unload pseudo, I'd suggest we add a new environment
variable to pseudo that is specific about unloading pseudo, instead of using the
existing PSEUDO_RELOADED.  Not only is the name confusing, but since it's an
internal item it's behavior may change or go away in the future.

(Below is from the pseudo man page:

      PSEUDO_RELOADED
               This purely internal variable is used to track state while try-
               ing to re-execute to get  rid  of  the  LD_PRELOAD  value  when
               spawning  a  server.  (The pseudo server itself cannot function
               running in the pseudo environment.)
