Description | Use the traceDelay property to make tracing faster or slower. When a handler is traced, each line is executed, after the delay specified in the traceDelay property. Using the scriptdebugger, you can trace a handler slowly while watching the order in which lines are executed and the value of variables as they change, in order to track down any errors in the handler. Increasing the traceDelay causes the trace to take place more slowly, giving you more time to interpret the situation as the handler is traced. Decreasing the traceDelay speeds up tracing, which can be useful when debugging long handlers. If the debugger is not active, this property has no effect.
