This is merely a feature proposal, and the way this is implemented is not good.

I needed faster iterations while working on this plugin but also in general.
Typically I only care about function addresses in gdb and not necessarily about stepping through the source-code.
A full decompile can easily take up to 20 minutes, so skipping decompilation makes a lot of sense to me.

This seems like a reasonable feature, but if it were to be added, I'd want to have it be carefully documented because it drastically limits the functionality of the script. It might be worth adding a cache (or using the existing Ghidra cache) instead to speed up repeated usage without breaking most of the utility of the script.
