FWIW, I do this sort of timing too, I think it is pretty reasonable
provided that there isn't much background noise on the system.

GDB 7.0 as a baseline would be more interesting. It may be a little
slower than 6.8 due to the C++ name canonicalization. If so, using 6.8
as the baseline would make Keith's patch seem slower than it is.

I'm surprised by the archer-tromey-python result, I have no reason to
believe it should be faster than anything else.

FWIW that number is really the same as the delayed-symfile number,
because optional-psymtab only takes the fastest path if you built with a
modified GCC, to get the DWARF index.
Here are some numbers showing the speedup on a smallish (about 80 KLOC)
C++ program if you build it the right way:
CVS HEAD 1.83user 0.04system 0:02.06elapsed
delayed-symfile 1.30user 0.05system 0:01.50elapsed
optional-psymtab 0.43user 0.04system 0:00.51elapsed
I haven't tried it on my big test cases yet.
