the rdebug one is faster as it 'plugs itself in' to certain handles 
within the interpreter (and only a few, so no watchpoints), which is 
fast.  The built in one is slow as molasses for whatever reason.  If I 
had to guess how it worked it would seem like it worked by running each 
line of code and examining the state or something. Very slow.
