Theoretically yes.
Please make a DBG() with skipped informations.
I would like to test it thoroughly.

Could we redesign the debug build to enable runtime partial debug
information?
I want to debug the only one plugin and let it run several days, I do
not want to see other debug information. Maybe I could setup the option
in the collectd.conf like:
DebugInfo all
DebugInfo ntpd,sensors,collectd

Maybe I can run only "debug" collectd & ntpd and mix it with non-debug
remaining plugins at least.
