--- Comment #1 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> ---
The addition of debuginfod capability has made this problem more acute, in =
the
sense that now that gdb can download dwarf on the fly, it will do so, and t=
ake
its sweet time!

Consider a GUI program with hundreds of shared libraries.  As soon as it
starts, gdb will proactively download all that dwarf for all shared librari=
es,
even before the user does anything that would strictly require it.  I see t=
hat
Many gdb commands may require searching for symbols program-wide, so yeah
probably one needs all that data, but not all (like a backtrace?).
