Debugger Performance - Very slow on larger procedures/packages

Daniel FoxFeb 17 2026

When debugging a larger complex procedure/package with many variables/objects, the debugger gets very slow. (Anywhere from 15-30 seconds in between when you click/keystroke the step key and the execution completing).

I have tried disabling every other extension except for Copilot and Oracle SQL Developer which made no difference on performance. I have had to revert to the Legacy SQL Developer when debugging larger packages for performance. The same debug step in the Legacy SQL Developer is within 1-2 seconds max.
