Probably because you defined the watchpoint so that GDB was forced to
use software watchpoints, rather than hardware-assisted watchpoints.
The latter doesn't slow down Emacs.

If you tell how you defined the watchpoint, I might be able to help
you redefine it so that hardware-assisted watchpoints are used by GDB.
