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.
