            Bug ID: 273145
           Summary: [Tools][GTK][WPE] generate backtraces with GDB using
                    lower CPU priority
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: clopez at igalia.com

GDB may use quite a lot of CPU to generate a backtrace when it is invoked when a test crashes.

This may cause that other test process compete with the CPU with GDB leading to random timeouts on the tests.

So it seems it would be a good idea to run the GDB process with lower priority than the tests.
