It seems to parse it in order of the config file - so by putting the set
tracefile= option at the bottom of the config file, you will get rid of the
"setting chunky-writes.." etc. lines. It still will put in 2 lines for
every connection, however - one for enabling the tracefile (which is just a
timestamp) and then the timestamp followed by the stats (If you have the
stats enabled).
So moving the "set tracefile" option around is the key to controlling how
much output makes it into the tracefile.
