Let me correct my report a bit.  gdb only slows down once it halts on
the seg fault error, before that, even with the Squeak window open and
operating, things are fast.  But once the seg fault is reached my whole
machine slows down terribly to an unusable state, and peculiarly, my
disk doesn't thrash at all.  I was able to kill gdb and then my machine
worked fine again.

Perplexed,
