The cTracer class had been written before the chunks were made available. It is a somewhat legacy API; if you can change its usage to cLineBlockTracer instead, that would be great.
The performance hasn't been measured, but is assumed to be better with the direct chunk approach. Getting a single block from cWorld requires the underlying cChunkMap to lock a mutex, find the chunk to which the block belongs (a linear list search of the cChunkLayer objects), then query the chunk in the same way as the direct approach does.
