Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200906220201)

When a breakpoint with setting "Suspend: no thread (continue)", it suspends the target thread for a split second. Mostly
it probably does not matter, but if I create such a breakpoint inside a cycle or any rapidly repeated bit of code, it
causes the Continue button to blink rapidly many times per second. The suspend/resume button in the Debugging view is
blinking as well. If I also open the Threads view and display the "Suspended" column, the checkbox in this column blinks
as well and the IDE slows down quite a bit in responsiveness (on a dual core 2GHz 2G ram, both cores at 100% cpu time
consumed by Netbeans and the running project).

Here is a sample code to reproduce this:

public class FlashTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (;;)
        {
            System.out.println("Hi"); //<--add breakpoint on this line
        }
    }

}

Does a "suspend no thread" breakpoint really need to actually suspend the target thread (even though it's for a split
second)? Also the fact that the breakpoint actually *DOES* suspend the thread contradicts the setting "Suspend: no thread".
