Ah. So the only bcache call is to add the partial symbol to the psymbol
cache. That narrows things down a bit. Wonder if setting
CHAIN_LENGTH_THRESHOLD lower would help.

What about the kernel? 3.5 seconds copying data to the user space is
suprising. Can linux, given page sized read requests do it using page
swapping?
The other question is where in GDB (?) the requests are comming from. I
suspect target read, but it could be symbol file related.
