on my machine for this, I get: 
C:\Projects>perl -MTime::HiRes=time -wE"my $t=time; my @a=map{$_}map{$
+_}1..1e6;say time-$t;"
12.703125

which I think is similar to: my @array = map A, map B, LIST; I am actually surprised that on a large 64 bit machine running some kind of *nix, that there are any page faults at all. I mean why does the "simple" version page fault? Sorry, I don't know.

Update: oh I see that this is Windows, I presume Win 7 instead of Vista? There are a bunch of versions of this OS, that might matter.

The maps above essentially don't do anything useful at all, but this shows the exponential increase in execution time on my 32 bit Win machine. So, I don't think this is specific to 64 bit machines. Apparently map uses more memory than one would think for a "do nothing" operation and also that Perl winds up accessing this extra memory in a way that causes a lot of page faults which would indicate that Perl is not cycling through sequential memory locations. Why that is and how that works, I don't know yet. But at least I can say this happens on 32 bit machines also.
