printf/debugging

I am currently using a Vex robotics system with EasyC and will be transferring over to MPlabs soon. In either case, I am aware of the PrintToScreen routine that is provided with EasyC that will display output to the IFI Terminal window. However, I have been told that the routine takes up to 20msec to execute which significantly impacts its ability as a debugging tool for timing issues (Heizenberg's Uncertainty Principle).

Are there any other more direct forms of printf that can be used, perhaps with a terminal window other than the IFI terminal window?

As my team moves forward with more complex programming challenges, the ability to effectively debug the system will hinge on having a reliable, well understood approach.

Thanks!
