I have been thinking again about this particular point, and I would be
fine with an additional boolean flag to compute the subtrans data in
the global counter when only necessary. This would not make the
macros for the stat functions that much more complicated, while being
sure that we don't do unnecessary computations when we know that we
don't need them..
