gdb 6.6 is taking a lot of time to load a a.out

[address@hidden]

I am using gdb. 6.6 for the last few months,

The load time is pretty high for it,

How are the bugs in the GDB maintained, What about the performance
data, Is there anyway to track it,

Some Benchmarks on them , so that we can take a look at it and may be
forgo some latest features but use a older gbd with lesser loading
time,


are such data maintained for the older versions og GDB
