Please find attached gprof output (this is with gdb 6.5 + gdb-lookup-internal-first-3.patch running the lsmaps script I posted earlier).
Thanks for helping!

Well then. Observations: - We're looking up partial symbols way too often. - It's taking way too long. - And oh my lord is that a lot of calls to the (fairly inefficient) strcmp_iw.
It looks like only about three calls to find_pc_sect_psymtab per expression evaluation, which is bad but not too bad - sounds like a last-searched-item cache may be useful.
