           Summary: Investigate parallel reader scalability

I was curious about the scalability of the parallel reader,
so I built on gcc112, which reports 160 processors.

I made a file like:

maint time 1
file /tmp/gdb

Then I ran:

for j in $(seq 0 180); do echo ======= $j ; ./gdb/gdb -nh -quiet -iex "maint
set worker-threads $j" < S; done

I had it go over 160 just to see if that was interesting or not.

To my surprise, the results don't seem to improve past N=8 or so.
There are multiple possible explanations for this, but it would
be worthwhile to find out exactly why.
