Tracing has other uses besides debugging though. The OP said he wished to implement a C trace function for bdb. Wouldn't that make it only applicable to debugging?
I honestly don't recall, but I believe pretty much everyone who uses tracing does so via bdb.py. And yes, when debugging sometimes you have to silently skip 1000 iterations until a condition becomes true, and the tracking speed matters.
