Re: UndoDB's performance

[Hui Zhu <teawater@gmail.com>]

Maybe Marc use the record_wait in linux-nat.c version.
It will increase the speed a little.
I did some small test to add some record function to i386-linux-nat.c.
 It will helpful.

The main speed issue is the prec need let the inferior keep single step.
So the prec skip patch can more helpful.
And the record part can be more intellective.  For example:
Let record_message decode more than one code.  Then we can let
inferior exec more than one insn for each cycle.

Thanks,
Hui
