Is your target system using LinuxThreads, or NPTL?

With LinuxThreads, debugging will slow down your program quite a bit;
there are a lot of signals the thread implementation sends itself
internally, and RDA catches each one.  I believe it re-reads the
thread table from the debuggee's memory each time it stops.

The timings your program prints are amazing, though; 38654705694
seconds is around a thousand years.  I assume you didn't have to wait
*that* long.  How long is the delay?

If you have the option of using NPTL, you might try using RDA from the
jimb-rda-nptl-branch branch.  I haven't had time to merge that into
the trunk, but hopefully I'll have some time to work on it eventually.
