What's the point of disabling "Load shared library symbols automatically"? [message #50893]

If I create a new debug configuration, I can (on the Debugger tab)
choose to disable "Load shared symbols automatically". What would be
the point of this? Why is the checkbox there?

If I was certain the checkbox was pointless I'd file a bug about it, but
I ain't so I won't (yet :-).

Cheers //Johan

If you don't care about debugging within the shared libs/dll of your
app then disabling this can increase performance and keep the gdb memory
footprint down.

In the future we plan on having a new view showing the loaded shared libs/dlls
and provide control there for loading symbols.
