Indeed. It's a little annoying that you will see many horizontal 
'traces' in tracy and probably will have to scroll all the way 
down to see the actual LDC trace.
It's a tradeoff I made between nicely displayed trace block 
names, vs. using only a few categories... Maybe other people can 
chime in a figure out a better way of outputting the trace item 
names (we are using LLVM functionality here btw).
