Somehow I actually solved this. Go to Project-->Options and then in "Debugger" category change "Run to" field from "Main" to "exit". Your code will begin executing immediately when you download. So when you do all of your development in a better IDE and use IAR only for compiling (it's only real purpose) then you can alt-tab to it, ctrl-r to redownload, and **imediately without waiting for IAR's bullshit** alt-tab back to your significantly more apt IDE. Cheers! Sorry about all these trolls - I thought your question was quite clear.
