Title:
  gdb -x uses quadratic time

Status in gdb package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have a script, which uses gdb -x to evaluate a large number of
  expressions on a running program. As gdb is processing those
  expressions, it takes longer and longer time to process each line of
  input. This results in the overall time consumption being quadratic in
  the number of input lines.

  I tested the same script on a Fedora install. On Fedora gdb runs
  several orders of magnitude faster.
