Because your experience is specific to a particular system, with a
particular set of tracing calls added in. At least initially, we'll be
adding very simple logging (no complex argument production) of
large-grain operations which will take many orders of magnitude more
resources than the logging itself. So, overengineering for performance
is not warranted yet.
