Summary
This post details how to improve the performance of debug sessions by addressing slow startup, slow entry into break state, and slow application execution when a debugger is attached. It covers optimizing build/deploy times, managing the Windows debug heap, handling function breakpoints, and optimizing symbol loading. For slow entry into break state, it discusses call stack walks, watch windows, and the impact of open debugger windows. For slow application execution, it touches on the overhead of debug heap and potential issues with certain debugger features.
