To add to my other reply

You can compile LCL, and package without debug info.

See package options for each package, or additions and overrides.
(and you can modify lib path, so maybe keep several versions...)

If you do, you may save 1 second of the start time. (actually not sure 
if the time is saved during start, or at some later point)
Depends on the gdb version. And your computer speed.
With the latest gdb savings will be way below a second....
You can also try gdb 8. That may save half a second.
