My understanding is work has been happening in GDB to improve C++ and 
this includes lowering GDB's footprint when debugging C++ programs.

This patch:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=819052&group_id=2435&atid=302435

is for gdb 6.0. All I can suggest is you build GDB and try it. A binary 
should be available soon.
