           Summary: Speed up PDB support
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-debug
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: fgouget at codeweavers.com


PDB files contain 'hashtables' that make accessing symbol information very fast.
The problem is that winedbg does not support these hashtables. Because of this,
loading debug information from PDB files is very slow. So slow that it can cause
critical sections to time out (minutes). This performance issue is a problem for
people porting their own programs to Wine.

(People using the PDB files that are shipped with Microsoft's development SDK
escape this problem because these are stripped down)
