Locals update in debugger

Hello.

I have the remote connection to the target while debugging my application. 
Sometimes making step takes significant time. This makes me think 
that "Locals" values in "Variables" tab are read back from the target each 
time I make a step.
Now, if, for example, "this" is small, I do not see any time delay. But if it 
is big, then it takes a noticeable time.

If so, I should like to suggest not to expand "Locals" content by default. 
This will be useful also from another point of view: for example, if there is 
a pointer pointing to some hardware FIFO, expanding it will cause HW to loose 
data.

Thanks.
