Re: Terminally slow (75 seconds) on some steps


First of all, we should be using mmap to access symbol files, at least
when there are no relocations.


Been there, done that, was told to do it in BFD.

If there are I/O performances gains to be had, GDB should share them with binutils. Did you look at bfdwin.c (although, in light of recent patches to modify bfd so that it can create things from target memory, the interface may be heading for review).
