I am debugging FSF Emacs 18.58 under GDB 4.6 on a DECstation running
Ultrix 4.2a.

Emacs 18.58 runs *much* slower under GDB 4.6 than under GDB 4.5.  I
can outtype Emacs running under GDB 4.6, but it runs at a normal speed
under GDB 4.5.

To reproduce (please do!), compile Emacs 18.58 with X11 support on a
DECstation, run it under GDB 4.6 so that it opens its own X window
(i.e. it's using the X interface, not the termcap interface), and try
to type fast.  For comparison, find an old copy of GDB 4.5 lying
around somewhere, and try the same thing.

I'm actually asking for the sake of Emacs 19, which exhibits the same
behavior.  I'd use GDB 4.5, but it crashes when I try to set
breakpoints in certain functions.  So I'm kind of stuck with VERY SLOW
debugging until this is fixed.

It would make my day if whoever is responsible for GDB bug reports
would send me an ack message.  It would make my week if someone sent
me a patch.

Thanks for your time!
