Sometimes the expanding and collapsing variables in the variables view is very 
slow. Using the simple example below with a breakpoint set inside the while loop
I got very fast exapnsion/collapsing when:

1) The Variables view is not maximized
2) I had expanded the properties variable in the maximized view and then 
expanded the tables variable

It got considerably slower to expand and collapse the tree when
1) I maximized the variables view and then the properties variable. I expanded 
nothing else and it was noticably slower.

Here is the test class 

import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Properties;

public class VariablesTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Properties properties = System.getProperties();
		Enumeration elements = properties.elements();
		while(elements.hasMoreElements()){
			String nextElement = (String) elements.nextElement();
			System.out.println(nextElement);
		}
	}
}
