Since a few years, gdb has had worker threads, potentially as many as cores
(physical or virtual) on the system.

So it does support trying to read things in parallel. Unfortunately the
nature of the data limits things somewhat, as you have dependencies and have
to look those up before proceeding further.

I've cc-ed Tromey, which worked in this area before.
