Sure, but that will hurt in other ways.

How long does the cache expirey take when run outside the debugger? 
Small tight loops have this habit of becoming big, heavy loops when a 
debugger touches them.
But you have hit on one of the places I've had flagged in the back of 
my head as a possible point of pain for a while. I'd be quite happy to 
see a patch for a more efficient cache expiry mechanism.
