I distinctly remember reviewing this for the disassemble command, exactly

contained to  just gdb/disasm.c (or the gross of it at least), IIRC.
Bleh, if we can't find it, we can always rewrite it.  :-P.
Taimoor wrote a patch about disassembly improvement in April 2011. Pedro review this patch but I think it stayed in our internal repo and never went upstream. If there is interest, I can try to resurrect it.
Yeah, I remember it very well as it was my first patch and Pedro helped me a lot. A cache based strategy was implemented to improve performance of disassembler.
