If we can, why not?

If there is the option to disable the trace it's gotta be there for a
reason, why would it be there else, for fun?

Nobody ever told me that disabling the trace will improve performance
but I assumed it, less code means faster code (generally speaking).

But it doesn't improve performance, tested it with WoW, at least nothing
noticeable. So I'm all for removing this configure option.
