Debugging Java application causes high cpu utilization

Question

When I'm debugging my Java EE application on Weblogic from Eclipse, in some cases just the fact that the debug is connected and enabled, causes high CPU utilization. The moment that I disconnect from debug port, the CPU utilization drops to normal levels.

What can cause it and how can I solve it? Thanks!

Update(s): Java version 1.6.0_45 (64bit)
