Why is IntelliJ IDEA so slow during debugging?

The Debugger in IntelliJ IDEA may work slowly in the following cases:
- Method Breakpoints are used (they are expensive to evaluate by JVM design)
- Watch method return values is enabled in the Debugger Panel (IntelliJ IDEA 7.x and later)
- Force classic VM option is not selected in the Settings | Debugger

I had this problem too and it turned out I had accidentally created a method breakpoint. They are REALLY slow! I found it by "View Breakpoints" icon in the debugger planel
The Force classic VM being off did it for me, that and a method breakpoint I didn't realize I had :-) . Thanks much!
