The atime update was too slow for executables on nfs filesystems. I only used it to reduce the number of non-conformances found by the NIST Posix test suite. There is now a PR about this bug (kern/25777) with a very broken patch in it (it assume that all filesystems are ufs and hacks on ufs's IN_ACCESS flag).
