"TRACE" enabled by default in release version of Torque engine for Xbox 360

As the title says, if you open up Torque and switch to the build configuration for Xbox 360 in release mode, you'll see that the TRACE flag is enabled. I wish I had noticed this sooner, as I just spent a few hours trying to figure out why ~2000 strings and 150,000 bytes of string memory were allocated every time I fired one of the weapons in my game. As you can imagine, this impacted the garbage collector negatively and resulted in a very annoying stutter. Any reason this is enabled? Shouldn't it be disabled for release mode? After I turned it off, the remote performance monitor displayed 0 string allocations as I fired my weapon, which provided a much smoother experience.

Note: This also exists in the CEV.
