Slow stepping

Hi,

 I would like to know if others see/feel that the debugging is quite 
slow now. I have an AMD64 3200+, 1GB DDR RAM, gdb 6.6, and when I 
execute a debugger command, it can take 3-4 seconds until the debugger 
buttons are enabled. As I see the delay comes when the 

(gdb) -var-update *

command is executed.

Is it possible to speed this up? It makes stepping over quite annoying. 
If the retrieving of variables really takes so much time, I'd suggest 
one or both of the following:
- don't retireve it, if the variables widget is hidden (and do it as 
soon as it is shown)
- delay the retrieval, and do it only if there was no debugging activity 
for 1-2 seconds. 

Andras
