Nick, what you're up against is that this is an old discussion.
We've tossed around the idea of making gdb a multi-threaded app
for years, and for various reasons, we've decided against it.
Therefore there is some inertia involved here, and you're not 
gonna sell the idea casually.  

I suspect that some of us are reluctant to jump into the
discussion anew, with someone who doesn't have all of the 
history and context.
