Um, I don't think so. GDB does, however, update the register cache every
time the inferior's state changes. To see how much data is flying around
over a remote connection, use the remotedebug or remotelog variables:
these will show you exactly what's going on at the protocol level
(provided your target uses gdb's remote protocol).
