Right. When it was brought up, I thought -readnow was indicative of
what I see, but then you said it doesn't use the new DWARF reader
code, so it is not relevant.

My numbers are very different:
. with GDB-12.1: elapsed: 8.39 sec, CPU: 6.25 sec
. with gdb-13.0.50.20221217-git: elapsed: 135.8 sec, CPU: 130.5 sec
No significant difference in memory consumption: 453MB for GDB 12.1,
441MB for GDB 13.
(Interestingly, when reading symbols from Emacs on the same system,
the times are almost identical: 2.593 for GDB 12 vs 2.671 for GDB 13.)
Other details which might be important:
GCC 9.2.0
Binutils 2.39
GDB compilation switches: -O2 -gdwarf-4 -g3
And one more thing: this is a native 32-bit Windows build of GDB, so
it has DWARF2 info in PE-COFF file, not in ELF. Maybe this could
explain the difference? Or maybe the C++ code is a factor?
Thanks.
