Long delays when stepping through code

When running code encounters a breakpoint it usually takes about 5 seconds for before the application is responsive and the watch list is updated. This also occurs when stepping through code one line at a time - which makes this feature unusable from a practical point of view. Is there any way to reduce this delay?



This also occurs when the watch list is empty. I read on one of these forums that installing Microsoft Script Debugger might make a difference but it did not seem to do so - maybe it was not configured correctly?

  • Hi Jonathan,



    This behavior is normal. Stepping through code lines takes some time.



    Sometimes, closing the Locals and Watch List panels while debugging helps increase the speed.
