Slow debug

[NurEng]

I use Vscode with platformio to debug esp32-wrover-kit .
The process of debugging is very slow !!

1- you need to start so you need to compile and upload ( ca.10minutes)
2- you start debugger , ( ca. 5minutes)
3- you step through, each step 10 seconds.
4- you need to change or add something you return to number 1 above .. !!
5- if yo want to restart debugging , you return to number 2 above .

Is this normal?? or it is only in this environment ??
Am I missing something??

I use win10 on corei5 computer.

I'm not sure about the software side of things (I'm not a Windows or VSCode user) but there is no hardware reason things are so slow.
