I disagree, I think the thread information is important even if you are not chasing a thread problem, simply to tell you which calls are part of the same sequence. It's not possible to make sense of any relay trace if the calls made from different threads cannot be distinguished.
If the tid really disturbs you, you can always pipe the output into a sed 's/tid=.*//' or something similar.

Which is why I suggested to specify +relay,+tid as the standard way to generate traces. But if you've already determined that the application you are debugging has only a single thread, or that there is a single active thread in the particular call sequence that is causing problems, then you can drop the +tid in the following traces. Also, this is why I think it's nice to have the tid on each trace. If not using +relay there is no indication of which thread is issuing the trace.

Probably a silly idea, but what about "+relay" implying implicit "+relay,+tid" and "+relay,-tid" doing what is written?
