You could try MPLAB :).

But seriously, Ralf addressed how the "frequency" command works. It sound 
like what you want is an "animate" feature where everything slows down so 
that you can watch it by eye. Other than what Ralf suggested (gui update 
rate) this feature doesn't exist. Although, a "sleep(x)" placed in the gui 
update call would probably fix this.

Something like :

gpsim> animate 50

can start the simulation and execute at a rate of 50 instructions per 
second. 

(Ralf, A call to sleep with an argument of 1000000/animate_rate in the 
gui_update call would do it).
