I wondered if you guys could point me at any web resources for Delphi
designtime (property/component editors) debugging hints and tips.

I wish i still had that Ray Konopka book, which I used to have access
to, but it belonged to a former employer. :-)

Here are my problems:

(1) If I run Delphi from within Delphi, is there a way to
decrease load time, perhaps by only loading certain component
BPL packages needed to debug what I'm working on, rather than
my entire set of components? My Delphi 7 IDE takes 25-45
seconds to launch normally (not from a debugger), and about
60-180 seconds to launch when I need to debug code that runs
from a designtime-editor form. I have about 40 BPLs loaded by default.

(2) Is there a way to debug designtime-packages without running the
Delphi IDE? Anyone seen anything like this? I realize that this would be
perhaps done by ifdefs and so on, but anyone got any links, ideas?

Design-time code and the internals of the whole design-time paradigm are
NOT my strong suit. :-)

Regards,

Warren

Not really. You could output log messages somewhere while your component is
running in the non-debugging IDE instance, but that can be tedious if you
are trying to track down a problem.
