It's hard without seeing (nor knowing if this is FB or PG) but here goes.

* do you have sections that don't operate if the debugger is on?
* have you any time criticl sections that because the debugger is slower
  are only getting called a few times when debugging is on, but are getting
  called a lot wnd hogging a lot of CPU time when debugging is off?
* have you changed the value for when FB polls for events
  (from memory, this is 'POKE EVENT+8, something'..)?
* have you tried looking at your compiler values?
* have you accidently switched on 'heap scrambling' in MacsBug?
* have you tried deleting the .¼ file and recompiling?
* voodoo? karma? fatigue?
