This is a perfectly natural occurrence for x86 "rep movb", where the "rep" prefix forms a counted loop of the one insn.
During the tests/tcg/multiarch/memory test, this logging is triggered over 350000 times. Within the context of cross-i386-tci build, which is already slow by nature, the logging is sufficient to push the test into timeout.
