Not sure what are you doing with the debugger right now. The 
major cause of slowness used to be transfer of variables. This 
was particularly painful when a file imported many packages. 
Since everything in Python is global, we'd transfer 1000s  of 
variables encoded as XML.

This can be speeded up a lot by loading only "local" variables. 
Once the breakpoint is hit, use the editor model to figure out 
what the local variables are, and transfer only those values 
initially.
