> Is there a reason for assuming that syscalls won't block by default?

There is substantial overhead to allow for the possibility that a syscall
might block.  This wakes up valgrind's internal machinery for threads,
which is not spry.  chdir and fchdir are used infrequently enough that
it might not matter too much; but stat64 and close are used quite often.
