How much do we know about why it takes a long time?

For instance:
  - We can speed up the psymtab lookup which currently shows up in
    profiles.  A coworker of mine gave me some clever ideas on how
    to do this if anyone wants to try it :-)

  - We can speed up prologue analyzers by judicious use of caching,
    in a way that's completely reliable.  DWARF2 CFI is already pretty
    speedy.

If these sorts of things are enough to help...

I suspect you can only do this in stepi, really - step/next can end up
in strange places...
