Right now, as I'm writing this, I realize that CDT already does something like that. E.g. when initially expanding a struct (e.g. MyOtherObject), then CDT does only execute '-var-evaluate-_expression_' on the visible items (m_Array1, OthrMember2and m_OthrMember3in this example). Then, when I scroll down in the _expression_ View, so that m_OthrMember4 appears, CDT executes another "-var-evaluate-_expression_" for var2.m_OthrMember4, right when that member starts appearing. I might study that code to find out more...

This is one of the basic features of the all views that belong to the Eclipse Debug Platform. Update requests are sent to the backend only for the elements visible in the view.
