xbacktrace has become amazingly slow.
It takes seconds per frame.
It used to be quite fast.
I can't see anything in .gdbinit that would explain the slowness.
I doubt it is GDB's fault, since my GDB executable was compiled in 2008
and it is unlikely I have not run xbacktrace since then.

FWIW, I cannot reproduce this with GDB 7.3 and today's Emacs trunk.
Can you show a precise recipe starting with "emacs -Q"?

gdb emacs
source .gdbinit
b Finternal_complete_buffer
r
C-x b Mes TAB
xbacktrace
I have GDB 6.8, but I must have had that for several years.

With this recipe and GDB 7.3, xbacktrace takes 0.79 sec on fencepost.
To show execution times of GDB commands, type "maint time" once in the
beginning of the session. AFAIK, this command should be available in
GDB 6.8 as well.

Unfortunately it gives no info during the xbacktrace command. If I
let it finish, it might give me a total for xbacktrace, but that
wouldn't be very helpful.
Anyway, it looks like this is a quirk and not a bug introduced in Emacs.
