Hi,

The "maintenance time" command might be helpful.

(gdb) help maintenance time
Set the display of time usage.
If nonzero, will cause the execution time for each command to be
displayed, following the command's output. 
(gdb) maintenance time 1
(gdb) print "12345"
2021-02-22 11:57:15.336 - command started
$1 = "12345"
2021-02-22 11:57:15.337 - command finished
Command execution time: 0.000734 (cpu), 0.000726 (wall)
(gdb)
