The last time I've been using VC6 is so long ago, I cannot really remember... VC7 and VS.NET are maybe a little faster than VS2005/VS2008, but to make them stall for seconds is not common neither for C++ nor for D.

The visualizer macros in autoexp.dat are quite complex and can be slow, especially if you have associative arrays with a lot of entries. Please try it without the autoexp.dat entries.

This is great stuff! Maybe the Windows debugger problem is more or less solved with this project.

As someone mostly used to msvc 6, I have to say that debugging in msvc 9 is incredibly sluggish in comparison. Most actions in the debugger takes several seconds to complete, while in msvc 6 it's more or less instantaneous. Is that also the case when debugging C++?
