The full picture (report's conclusion):

The last part of the document provides results of SMACK memory consumption and performance analysis showing that SMACK is suitable for embedded systems and, in particular, to digital TV platforms. Even though some numbers reported by performance tests can be relatively high, they have been derived under unusual system load different from normal TV operations.

Sorry, that should have been:
