But the agent just ran normally - no log file output, and it ran at normal speed. I set the following environment variables in a terminal window, and then ran 'akonadictl start' in that terminal:

I made the same experience to debug an agent. Look at:
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM/Akonadi/Development_Tools#Attaching_gdb_at_startup
I think the problem is that the agent is started at logging time. Have a look a few lines
below, where I propose:
$ akonadictl stop
$ akonadi_control
