325,000 breakpoints for running "breakpoint set --func-regex ." on lldb itself (after hitting a breakpoint at main so that LLDB.framework is loaded) used to take up to an hour to set, now we are down under a minute. With warm file caches, we are at 40 seconds, and that is with setting 325,000 breakpoint through the GDB remote API. Linux and the native debuggers might be faster. I haven't timed what how much is debug info parsing and how much is the protocol traffic to/from GDB remote.
That there were many performance issues. Most of them were due to storing breakpoints in the wrong data structures, or using the wrong iterators to traverse the lists, traversing the lists in inefficient ways, and not optimizing certain function name lookups/symbol merges correctly.
Debugging after that is also now very efficient. There were issues with replacing the breakpoint opcodes in memory that was read, and those routines were also fixed.

own port namepsace) as the thread identifier to using the system-wide
globally unique thread id as the thread identifier number.
MachThread.cpp keeps both the unique id and the mach port number
for each thread. All layers outside MachThread class use the unique
id with three exceptions: (1) Mach exceptions come in with the port
number (thread_port) which needs to be translated, (2) any calls to
low-level thread_get_state/thread_set_state/thread_suspend etc need
to use the mach port number, (3) MachThreadList::UpdateThreadList
which creates the MachThread objects gets the unique id and passes
it to the MachThread ctor as an argument.
In general, any time nub_thread_t is used, it is now referring to a
unique thread id. Any time a thread_t is used, it is now referring
to a mach port number. There was some interchangability of these
types previously. nub_thread_t has also been changed to a 64-bit
type which necessitated some printf specification string changes.
I haven't been able to test these changes extensively yet but want
to checkpoint the work. The scenarios I've been testing are all
working correctly so while there may be some corner cases I haven't
hit yet, I think it is substantially correct.

500 ms.
Make MachThreadList more threadsafe.
Added code to make sure the thread register state was properly flushed for x86_64.
Fixed an missing return code for the current thread in the new thread suffix code.
Improved debugserver logging.
