dev build 200402121900 When a breakpoint is reached, the LOCAL VARIABLES window (and others for that matter) update with varying speeds. Sometimes the updates are instantenous, sometimes it takes one second to update and this is while breakpointing at the same point over and over again so I would expect a consistent response time. My expectation as a user is for the LOCAL VARIABLES to update no later than 300ms after the breakpoint has been reached. Any longer and my productivity decreases. Because I'm seeing inconsistent response times at the exact same breakpoint I am guessing there is an obvious bug in the code that could be fixed. Maybe you are updating the window every one second interval instead of on-demand. Maybe you're missing a call such that once a breakpoint is called, it queries for an immediate update.
Debugger views are refreshed some 500ms after the debugger stops. You may sometimes experience other delays if you step in the code rather quickly. Variables refresh is revised in the new debugger API for promo-D and we will evaluate this issue later. This delay is there to enable you to step faster (repaint slows things down) while keeping the views up-to-date.
As designed.
