    I'm not sure about MSVC. On Linux I sometimes use valgrind (a memory
check/debug tool) with FG, and yes it is significantly slower.

    What I did though was I have created a seperate FG root and use that
for debugging (via FG_ROOT environment variable or --fg-root). In this
"debug" FG root, I have trimmed down versions of apt.dat, nav.dat, etc,
which makes the debugging startup a lot faster. My apt.dat for debugging
has only nine airports that are around the default KSFO area.

    Of course this assumes you're not trying to debug apt.dat or other
full data.

    Similarly I also have a seperate debug preferences.xml passed using
--config.
