> The same goes for things like breakpoints.  GDB pulls them so that the target is always left in a clean state.  Not pulling them would be a performance bost (knowing the numbers not as much as this one!).


Er, that doesn't parse.

Michael's trust read only sections patch has a dramatic impact on 
performance.  It eliminates the need to read target memory before 
writing a breakpoint.
