The name gdb-7.4.50-0.20120120 it suggests a snapshot with performance
regression later already fixed on trunk by Tom Tromey. This performance
regression was not present in 7.4 and it will not be present in 7.5.
I have fixed this regression by a backport in 7.4.50.20120120-35.fc17,
the 20120120 snapshot date may suggest your GDB is somehow Fedora derived.
