Hello,

This patch documents
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13932 as requested in
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15267. It would be
nice to add more details, but it seems the behavior and its
consequences is not well understood. The purpose of the note is to
warn users of this behavior and thus avoid frustration
(http://entropymine.com/imageworsener/slowpow/).

This is my first patch. I followed (hopefully correctly) the instructions here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/patches.html

Cheers,

Manuel.
