stoptime is nice on single-hart systems, but not really practical in multi-hart systems where one hart can be running while another is halted. The main benefit is that it allows you to single step through code with a timer interrupt enabled, without going into that timer interrupt every time you single step.
Are there downsides to the debugger inhibiting the timer interrupt by setting STIE to 0? This seems like would provide similar benefit even for a multi-hart system...
