The two options I see are:

1.	Rip tracing out of the inner idle loops and everything that
	they invoke.
What I suggested above.  But as I said I know sh*t about that tracing 
implementation so that's an easy suggestion for me to make.
Works for me as well.  ;-)
While I must admit not having a better suggestion, I for one would vote
strongly against removing tracing from the idle path.

Being a PM developer and maintainer, much of the code I work on and
maintain happens to be run in the bowels of the idle path.  Not having
the ability to trace this code would be a major step backwards IMO.
