If I'm not mistaken, in Leopard there is no differentiation anymore 
between "normal run" and "debug": Xcode 3 now always runs the program 
with GDB attached, but in "run" mode, it simply deactivates all break 
points, so in case you "run" your app and something bad happens, the 
debugger is usable immediatley, you don't have to re-run the app with 
the debugger attached and reproduce the error. Therefore, you can 
just re-activate your break points anytime to switch from "run" mode 
to "debug" mode.

So, on Leopard both running and debugging should be slow now :)

Best,
