+### Compiled mode
+
+In order to fully support breakpoints, the debugger interprets all code, even code that is stepped over.
+Currently, there are cases where the interpreter is too slow for this to be feasible.
+A workaround is to use "compiled mode" which is toggled by pressing `C` in the debug REPL mode (note the change of prompt color).
+When using compiled mode, code that is stepped over will be executed
+by the normal julia compiler and run just as fast as normally.
+The drawback is of course that breakpoints in code that is stepped over are missed.
