Are we? Not that I know of.

That requires cutting down on the overhead caused by trace mode though. I'm
confident the overhead can be significantly reduced by keeping some data
structure with quick lookups an non-blocking synchronization in shared memory
between all processes that use darwintrace.dylib. There just needs to be somebody
to implement that ;-)

Read: No trace mode by default in the near future.
