fork/sh/hello microbenchmark performance in chroot

I'm trying to play with our a homebrew version of lmbench's fork
benchmark which exec's sh to run a "hello world" program. On normal
2.4.18 (UP 933mhz p3) it runs in about .2s However, within a chrooted
environment I'm looking at 1s.

Anyone knows why this runs significantly slower within a chroot?

thanks,

shaya
