A few weeks ago Bob gave me the following tip (off-list) regarding the
"show pdbheader" command that might help you:

One comment. You could be more efficient with the show pdbheader. That call
actually reads the file again from the drive. Two ways to do this:

1) use

set pdbGetHeader true

this loads the header into the "auxiliaryInfo" during file loading. This way
the file is only read once, and calls to "show pdbheader" return quickly,
just returning that info. Does require a bit more memory, of course....
