How to speed up debugger?

I have problem because my debugger works very slowly last time. I have to wait few minutes to see any code in debugger.

I the past i read that debugger has some file that should be deleted and then debugger works faster using less RAM memory etc.

Does anybody know what file is it??
I cant find the answer again.
 
What version of Progress are you using?
Whatkind of machine are you using?
How much RAM you have on that machine?

If you're using progress Version 9 after 9.1D06, you can speed up debugger by starting a session with -oldDebugger parameter.

You get the 'old' debugger which uses significantly less memory then the 'new' debugger. (You also got less functionality then, but you will be able to debug your code...).

I never heard of a file you can through away to speed up the debugger...

Thanks for ansver.

I am using progress 9.1e and 10.0B. I hope that the parameter works also for this versions.

Is this because the "new" debugger is Java-based, or are there other reasons for the performance problem? I'm trying to run the debugger with 9.1E under AIX on an IBM RS6000-H80, with 12Gb of memory, but with 8 separate QAD MFG/PRO environments.
 
I don't think so. I'm "backing into" the Progress Editor from MFG/PRO, then opening a small program (by eB2 standards, anyway), then selecting "Debug" from the "Compile" menu.

Our expectation is to be able to debug individual MFG/PRO (eB2, Progress 9.1E) programs. I'm a systems admin (not a Progress devoloper) who's been charged with determining the feasibility of doing this.

I can't speak to what QAD may, or may not, have setup for you but in general I would expect faster debugger startup if the debug listing files are created in advance.
