Depending on what I do sometimes ~10x a day during complicated GDB backports.

The most expensive source file in GDB looks to be dwarf2read.c: 0m8.930s

While it is 0m7.394s with CVS right now (1) I need to be online and (2) I have
a luck sourceware.org is accessible. From my scheduled regression testing
runs often the server is overloaded/inaccessible. (1b) I am not aware how to
make CVS repository copy for local use (but there may be some tool).
