I quickly looked at the patch, and it doesn't seem as bad as it sounds.
I just joined the archer list, so we can discuss the details there
when you have found what the issue is with number of symtabs, but
the one thing that I am wondering is how users will respond to an
unexpectedly long delay when entering a command that is usually fast
and yet takes a noticeably long time that one time. For intance, imagine
the following scenario:
  
  % gdb my_300MB_exe
  (gdb) break main
  [12 secs later...]
  Breakpoint 1, ...
