In V8, the "please wait" dialog should only appear if you try to 
relaunch before the delay has finished.  Starting a fresh debug will 
never trigger it, just restarting.  With V7, it always appeared after 
you killed your app.

The fundamental problem is that if we talk to POSE over the debug port 
before the emulated device has stabilized, we really hose up the 
debugger connection, and we can't recover without killing the emulator.

Also, remember that a reset can take a lot longer on a Pentium 150MHz 
box than on a Athlon XP 2200.

As I've mentioned, one thing we're considering is supporting a "kill-
means-reload" feature, where killing the session would reload your PSF 
file, giving instant reboot.  This isn't perfect, especially if you're 
using HostFS and you have to do a reset after load to get that setup 
right.
