Environment

  • OS and version: Windows 11
  • VS Code: 1.78.2
  • C/C++ extension: 1.16.0 & 1.15.4
  • OS and version of remote machine CENTOS 7.9.2009
  • GDB / LLDB version: GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.2-6.el7

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
Debug my executable, before it even breaks in main or loads any symbols it spins for minutes at 100% CPU while allocating a ton of memory. Stepping through is very slow also. Using gdb from the command line is very fast, however a suboptimal experience. I have tried it with the system gdb also. I see the same behavior
