I think it's better if process start time is moved to the proc structure
where it won't ever get paged out.  I almost always want to see the
start time, and I think it's well worth the extra four bytes per entry
to have it there.

There has been lots of discussion about this in the past, but I don't
think anyone has done anything about fixing it yet.  :-/
