Sorry, this makes no sense. GDB is automaticaly attached to cloned
threads. You won't miss any crash. You're thinking of discovering
threads with thread_db?
The performance issue is related with communicating the
new-thread/thread-exited to the frontend, or with printing it to
the screen with printf_unfiltered, not related to the thread
management per-se.
