Diable Tread refresh in UI [message #211884]

My company has an application it needs to remotely debug using gdbserver
and Eclipse. Unfortunately, it has about 40 threads and takes an
exceedingly long time to step debug.
I'd like to modify the CDT plug-in to disable the constant thread status
updating (running/suspended, info threads, info sharedlibrary, etc) of all
the threads except the one being debugged.

Any ideas on where i need to make the modifications?
In the org.eclipse.cdt.debug.mi.core.cdi package?

I'd start by placing breakpoints in CommandFactory (this is where all
the MI commands a created). You can then see where the required calls
are comming from.

So I tried stepping through the CDT code and from what i can see, it would
not be a trivial change to disable thread refreshing for all but the
thread you're interested in. Everything appears to be event driven and i
don't see an easy way to stop the events causing the other threads from
firing.

Anyone with more expertise on the issue able to shed some light on this?
I'm not 100% certain that it's not easily doable.
