How does it provide tracing? 
My goal it to make the JIT faster at runtime. By tracing I meant, optional 
optimisation based on the execution of the software.

For example if a node within the execution tree is rarely used when it is 
invoked JIT will do little optimisations and for parts that is used 
frequently multiple optimisations occurs.
