   Is quick linear with the size of the patch?

Defenitely not.
As a simple example, a new architecture takes relatively little time to review: 

- did it get put through gdb_indent.sh (coding ok)
- did it get put through gdb_ari.sh (interfaces ok)
- anthing obviously garish
- can it break core-GDB (no)
- is there an assignment
Contrast that to a single addition to the architecture vector. Too often the mechanism overlaps existing functionality and hence requires changes far wider than the apparent one line addition. 

The symbol table is identical.
