           Summary: big cpu/mem hog on large c++ applications.
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2

hi,

i have a large c++ application (2.9GB of shared objects, 600MB of static
archives used in shared objects). on isolated part of sources a single
'next' call takes ~3 minutes and increases memory usage from ~500M to ~3G
while previous gdb-7.3.1 needs only 2..3 seconds and increases memory usage
from ~400M to ~550MB.
