Actually, I was wrong: I see multiple calls to xrdb too, it's just that 
they don't show up in the bootchart because they don't last long enough 
(bootchart by default purges processes that are active for less than 0.4s).

Yesterday I posted a patch to fd.o bugzilla which makes xrdb use mcpp by 
default if available at runtime:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4325

I don't know if you use the same code for xrdb, but if you do you might 
want to try the patch out.
