Re: [PATCH] On-demand loading of shlib's debuginfo

There's also this, which I still haven't checked in:

    http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00606.html

This defers reading debuginfo for new inferiors until some event happens
that requires it.

It turns out that Gary's recent patches will (most likely -- I didn't
try it yet) fix the problem pointed out in that message.

Anyway, this approach does help quite a bit.
