Let me add one more clarification...it sometimes runs fast, then I pause the debug, then restart it and it suddenly slows down. Nothing else changed. I think once I had it do the exact opposite where it suddenly sped up.

I've noted this as well.

First, you can change the settings that might speed things up. Under Windows, Preferences, select Run/Debug, Compiled Debug, Animated Step Into. Here, change the three values to lesser values. I have all three of mine set to 100ms, which is the lowest setting you can set it to. Theoretically, this should cause as many as ten lines/second to be debugged, but due to system overhead it actually translates to two or three. I've had it on occasion run at ten lines/second, which is sometimes desirable.

I haven't played with some of the other views and such, but I would experiment with various tabs (like the Values tab described below) and see if you get better results.

What puzzles me is that, at times, the debug run goes fast, and other times, it doesn't. And yet the views I have open haven't changed. Neither are the number of variables I am debugging, if any. So I have yet to understand why it does this behavior.

When you run debug make sure the Values tab is _not_ the visible one. In programs with a large number of variables the refresh of that slows things down. Use the Monitor view instead. Fine to use Values in subprocedures etc. but not in old-fashioned monoliths.

Can the creators of RDI please work on getting debug to work faster? That is a big complaint from the folks @ my shop. Some get that "Engine is busy" error, though I personally have not. If you have a source member of any size, you'd better be ready for a long coffee break. Compiles could run faster too. If you want to wean folks away from SEU/PDM, then those basics need to be addressed.
