DT's trace entries flood the CICS trace table. This burns a noticeable amount a cpu and it is nearly impossible to get the full trace of a single abending task in a development region with DT active.
As DT's trace is only needed for debugging DT itself, it is very reasonable to provide a configuration option to turn CICS tracing on or off (with OFF as default)
