I would not want to complicate this more to be honest. It is already a bit
complex, and I am not sure about the win in making it as configurable as you
seem to want. The "threshold" thing is just a slight improvement, it is not
aiming to be optimal. If in your tracing, this granularity is an issue, we
can visit it then.
