As of 8.1 you could turn on trace_sort to collect some data about this.

Looking at the code, I notice that the messages are all emitted at level NOTICE. Perhaps that was not such a good idea --- it'd be pretty much in-your-face if it were on all the time. Does anyone think it'd be a good idea to emit the trace_sort messages at level LOG, instead?

If someone sets trace_sort, does it matter what level its emit'd at? Its not on by default, at least :)
