MI: -var-update performance


Hi,
I'm running into a case where -var-update takes about 2 seconds to execute.
There's quite a lot of varobjs, but 2 seconds is beyond any expectation.

Here's the profile:

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
  %   cumulative   self              self     total
 time   seconds   seconds    calls  Ts/call  Ts/call  name

 19.65    131.72    61.49

  0.97    259.94     3.04                             symbol_search_name



Any ideas what's up? Should I try to rebuild gdb with --enable-profiling to
get call graph?
