[jdt-debug-dev] Terrible stepping performance

[Jared Burns <jared-eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bug 25516 (http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25516) describes a 
serious degredation of stepping performance in the debugger. As the report 
explains, since around build 20021022 stepping time is now measured in 
seconds on Linux.

The problem seems to be related to the editor. Our views update immediately 
for the new location on a step, then the editor updates a couple seconds 
later. Can anyone think of something that changed with our UI around this 
time? Could this be a side-effect of the instruction pointer?

Luc, I think you managed to get Eclipse running in OptimizeIt on Friday. Were 
you able to find where we're spending all of our time?

Thanks,
- Jared
