Hi Eliot,

Does the issue resolve when you turn off the preference syntaxHighlightingAsYouType?
Can you record a trace (using the profiler from the main docking bar > extras menu) while stepping around in the debugger for about 10 seconds and share it with us?

Best,
Christoph

Betreff: [squeak-dev] trunk debugger unusably slow...
 
Hi All,

    I'm trying to debug an inlining edge case in the VM for the threaded VM that Leon is doing. The debugger is unusably slow (steps taking 10 seconds, etc).  I've raised this issue before but was brushed off.  I suspect somewhere in the new (last two years?) highlighting code is taking a lot of time.  Would the author(s) please provide me with some snippets of code i can use to try and measure performance? And/or would anybody be willing to pair (I'm on PST) in trying to get to the bottom of this?  It's extremely frustrating to try and work when the debugger is unusable.
