--- Comment #2 from dje at google dot com ---
Yeah.  All those seeks are annoying, but are they really the main cause of the
slow down?

Also, I wouldn't say the non-.gdb_index case is not supportable.
It *is* going to be slower, but if there are fixable perf issues we may fix
them
(emphasis on "may").

If the cpu is pegged at 100% and in this case debug info reading is cpu bound
and not disk bound, how big is the shared library?
If it is relatively big, .gdb_index is definitely the way to go if you want a
speedup.
