Using drkonqi-coredump-gui, I can get a backtrace significantly faster with gnome-abrt - note in the undermentioned screenshot that gnome-abrt commenced its trace approximately 4 minutes before gdb did.

I noticed that 1902312 – abrt retrace takes a very long time was filed some time ago, with the unsatisfying conclusion of “RESOLVED CURRENTRELEASE”.
However:
-
It doesn’t mention comparison with alternative debuggers, and
-
the time difference in the case of the report is inordinate. Additionally,
-
mine actually completes, eventually:
--- Running report_uReport --- ('report_uReport' completed successfully) --- Skipping collect_GConf --- No matching actions found for this event. --- Skipping collect_vimrc_system --- No matching actions found for this event. --- Skipping collect_vimrc_user --- No matching actions found for this event. --- Skipping collect_xsession_errors --- No matching actions found for this event.--- Running analyze_CCpp --- Generating backtrace Backtrace is too big (651534 bytes), reducing depth to 512 Backtrace is too big (616385 bytes), reducing depth to 256 Backtrace is too big (616385 bytes), reducing depth to 128 Backtrace is too big (616385 bytes), reducing depth to 64 Backtrace is generated and saved, 135035 bytes --- Running analyze_BodhiUpdates --- Looking for similar problems in bugzilla abrt-action-find-bodhi-update [WARNING] Duplicate Bugzilla bug '#2269942' was found Searching for updates No updates for this package found --- Running report_Bugzilla --- Checking for duplicates Bug is already reported: 2269942 Adding new comment to bug 2269942 Status: NEW https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2269942 --- Running post_report --- ('post_report' completed successfully)
To reiterate, it’s merely significantly slower than gdb.
