Thanks, but I think this goes too far.  I suggest this shorter
description:

  If ON, GDB will delegate some of the debugging operations to the
  agent, if the target supports it.  This will speed up those
  operations that are supported by the agent.
  If OFF GDB will not use agent, even if such is supported by the
  target.

Also note that your last sentence lacks a period at its end.
