What exactly do you mean by "response time of gdb is too  bad"?  What
exactly  are you trying to do, (which exact commands do you use), and
how long does it take?

Why do you think this would have any impact on GDB's response times?

What is "slow" for you? What are you trying to do?

What do you mean by "connected separately"? I understand that the PC,
the target, and the BDI are in the same subnet, all connected to  the
same hub or switch? Is this understanding correct? [If yes, then this
is perfectly OK.]

Please switch your brain on-line. What might be the reasons  that  an
existing file cannot be read? Access permissions maybe?
