title: Eclipse Java remote debugger extremely slow over VPN
body: <p>I sometimes am forced to work away from my office, meaning that I need to VPN into my lab. I've noticed that remote-debugging with Eclipse in this situation is horrendously slow. Slow to the point where it takes 5-7 minutes for the debugger to attach to the remote jvm. After connection, stepping through breakpoints/lines can take 20-30 seconds each time, and it routinely just drops the connection, making me have to start over again.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone explain why this is, even if there is no available solution? My latency through the VPN isn't nearly what one would expect given the behaviour of the remote-debugger. I do all kinds of other stuff over the VPN with minimal lag/obstruction. </p>
  
  <p>I'm really struggling to understand why the remote-debugger is so afflicted by the VPN, when basically every other network operation is fine.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
