It is poor but not abysmal I've not getting the results you are on a
slower machine with 5.3.

By this do you mean you use the one in the Thrill Seekers folder or you
installed the one from 5.3.  If you did the one from 5.3 that is probably
the reason.  If you did the one from the Thrill seekers, be sure you
installed it correctly you just add the plugins you don't need to use a
different MetroNub.

you can speed things up a lot by switching to the "Automatic" variable
display mode.  This will significantly improve the performance of the
debugger.  

The automatic variable display mode is activated by clicking on the dot in
front of the word "Variables" in the debugger panes.  The pane will toggle
between "Variables: All" and "Variables: Auto".  

Perhaps this is your problem.  On a 400 mhz laptop I find this slow but
not unreasonably slow and not enough that I feel I must use the MetroNub
but I do understand the desire to use it.

Send your problem to tech support and please copy me when you do.

Thanks,  this should behave for you, we just need to find the culprit.
