The slowdown wasn't periodic, but instead occurred only when I tried to access some data.  Even unrelated data from a simple list of integers.  Problem goes away when I delete the large objects.  But it also goes away if I close the variable explorer entirely.  No variable explorer settings helped (and I disabled updating well before this problem).\r\n\r\nI'll see if I can get a reproduceable example.  I can reproduce the problem on my own, but need to figure out how to get the data in a sharable format."}}
