Mysqldump Taking lot of time - Stored Procedures only

[Karnish Master]

Anyone has any idea while taking mysqldump for stored procedure/routines, why Processlist shows "show table status like XXXX(i.e. table_name)?

Command Used :

mysqldump -f -u root -p --no-tablespaces --protocol=socket -S /tmp/socketpath.sock --no-data --no-create-db --no-create-info --routines --triggers=false --single-transaction --quick --skip-lock-tables database_name > databasename_routines.sql


The number of routines is 4000+ , however whenever we try to take mysqldump of routines it is taking a humongous amount of time, and in the show processlist its doing "show table status like ......."
