Hi Ken,

I am glad you like the Animated Step debug feature.
A common cause of a slower than desired stepping speed is having debug
views open that require more data. If the Variables view is open, for
example, then as part of each step, the debug engine needs to read the
debug information for all the locals and send any changes back the UI.
Similarly for the Registers view.
If you are interested in local variable values (or registers) as part of
your animated stepping session, you could try monitoring the specific
variables (or registers) you want to see and then showing the Monitors view
instead of the Variables view. That way, only the changes for the locals
you have a direct interest in will have to be sent back to the UI.
Of course, even with every view but the Debug view hidden, the ability of
the UI to issue the next step command is dependent on the remote engine
replying to the current step request. Network and server load could be
playing a larger part in the slowness than anything else.

I hope this information is helpful for you to optimize your Animated Step
use!

Good luck.
