I understand that front end authors may want to make compromises that
we, the GDB developers, don't (in order to improve performance). 
However, I don't want to provide an interface that looks simple
but carries these kinds of pitfalls if I can avoid it.

Maybe you can use Nick's MI timings patch, or a system profiler like
oprofile / vtune, to get some better idea of where time is being spent.
If we can make things fast enough, we should.
