Hi Brook,
Cool, thanks for trying it out! I think you have it right on all counts.
If you're using cftrace/trace() and Firelogger/Firebug is not enabled then the
custom trace tag will simply call the native CF trace code (trace_adobe.cfm).
In this case there will be a little overhead as

Very curious. Took me a minute, but that error message is actually from the
original Adobe trace.cfm version (mine doesn't even use a variable called
