Difference between Step over and Run

I have noticed in the debugger that there is quite a difference in 
time of execution between

    Step over

and

    Run

even when Run takes me to the very next line of code--a line which is 
also a break point.

When the handler to be Stepped over is complex, the time to execute 
Step over can be prohibitive. In such cases I set a break point at 
the next line and Run to the next line. This is VERY much faster.

Is this a bug? Wouldn't it be better if RR executed Step over as if 
it were a Run to the next line of code? Does the "Step over" do 
something other than "Run" to the next line when that next line is a 
breakpoint?
