Pausing into the base workspace

Is there a way to force MATLAB to pause in the base workspace, or to speed up pausing? I run code involving plotting, and sometimes want to pause execution while it's running, but pausing in the middle of a plot command is very slow, as the code is often five or six functions deep. Thanks!

I am not sure if there is a way to speed up pausing. But once paused, if you are 5 to 6 functions deep, you can still check the values in base workspace using function call stack
