[Eric] Very slow debugging

[Martin Bures]

Ok - I got it to do it again.  I think I found the pattern.  It was running
along fine and then I printed the contents of a very large variable in the
shell:
(there is a variable named data)
>>> data

....

Then the whole application turns into molasses.

variable information:
name: data
type: dictionary/hash/map
value: 89 items

it is a dict{ dict{ dict{ dict{ array } }, dict{ array } }
