Speeding up Tomcat in debug mode with Eclipse IDE

Question

Running Tomcat through eclipse works fine in non-debug mode, but not in debug mode. When I try to start the Tomcat server in debug mode, the console output looks fine for a

I had this same problem in Galileo. Fast run but crawling debug. Thanks to the posts above, I cleared all the breakpoints and restarted Tomcat. That magically fixed the problem. fyi - I had 2 method breakpoints and other line breakpoints earlier. I did the tests to confirm the above theory about method breakpoints slowing down. Here's what I found. Looks like it's not the method breakpoint which is the problem, the problem was the method breakpoint which was still showing up in the breakpoints list in debug view, but was not existing in the code. I mean I changed the parameters of that method but the old breakpoint with older parameters was still existing in the breakpoint list. That was the culprit, when I removed that, the other method breakpoints did not slow down the server. So looks like eclipse was trying to search for something non-existing which seems to have slowed it down. Hope this helps.
