When expanding an element in a large array (usually greater than 1000
elements, but system dependent), the quickwatch function appears to
hang. This apparent problem is caused by the time it takes to re-align
the data in the window, and is actually normal operation. If you place
the same array element in the Watch Window, it will expand instantly.
