    Add trace points for debian-503-i386-netinst.iso
    
    tracing begins _after_ selecting Install menu entry,

IO Thread results are:

took 9.955913 seconds
took 17.407633 seconds
took 38.311728 seconds
took 40.854557 seconds
took 58.371600 seconds
took 70.021890 seconds
took 85.377891 seconds
took 101.429223 seconds
took 111.663570 seconds
took 116.943185 seconds
took 122.880269 seconds
took 129.600638 seconds

IOW slightly worse than non IO Thread.

Caveat emptor:
  a. those are benchmarks
  b. i tend to fuck up things on occasion (frequently)

So take with a grain of salt.

P.S. (not sure what the has would be) should read (not sure what the
     _hash_ would be)
