I am searching for strings when debugging. It takes ages and I don’t know when it will stop.
Why? It’s painfull
Hi,
Please refer to the corresponding topic - IDA freezes when searching in strings menu durring debugging. As we mentioned, it’s hard to share useful tips without the detailed background, as many factors may affect the performance. Thanks!
Because You’re not only searching Your loaded database but all loaded memory regions. If there’s a lot of memory there’s a lot to search 
Nonetheless I think IDA could be a bit more responsive to user action during these intense moments (new graph in 9.2 is similar).
