Error description

• Environment: Windows 7
  Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
  
  Program Version    :  8.5.1
  Description.
  Performance issues are observed with debugger startup times and
  then when continuing the step through process using the Enable
  hotswapping option with the EGL Debugger.
  
  These issues occur with large workspaces where there are many
  part references then in turn cascading to reference other parts
  and are affected by a caching mechanism implemented by  the
  debugger.
  
  In these instances when invoking the EGL debugger and altering
  source files within the debug session both startup and step
  through can suspend for seconds rather then the instant behavior
  as users expect.
