[ddbg] loading time

[Frank Benoit]

Hi

When i load a jface application, that can take a while. About 10-30 sec.
I wonder if that can be optimized?
If not allready done, perhaps disabling the GC for the duration of this
loading?

Indeed. Both the initial load before the prompt is active and the
subsequent startup time after typing 'r' (processing DLLs) are both a
little long.

yes, there should be several opportunities to optimize it.
ddbg builds an AVL tree for the code-address to source-file/line
mapping, s.t. stepping through the code is faster. i guess there's a lot
of unnecessary heap action while building the tree.
i've setup a ticket here:
