Looks very interesting Radim, hope to see it at work soon :-)
Moving the conversation to -dev as other users might benefit from this as well.

While trace logs are the most useful, performance is impacted to almost unusable levels and it still does not provide enough information, logs have low precision etc.

Currently I have a working prototype (I believe already useful) which is able to track down all messages based on the initial request, records which threads execute etc. It's Byteman based, no trace logs/code changes required. However, according to my initial testing it reduces the overall performance 2-3 times.
