Description
Whenever possible we'd like to opt-in to features so users get the value without having to be aware or make a decision.
`AttachStacktrace`=true would be such a feature. The trade off here is the overhead added to folks that use Sentry as a logging too (sending many events per second from a single process).
There was a [unconfirmed report of performance degradation that could have been caused by the use of `attachStacktrace`.](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/issues/479)
It's likely the right choice for Client based apps (UWP, WPF, Xamarin, etc) but not for ASP.NET.
We need some benchmarks to have a better idea of the cost of getting these stacktraces for normal `CaptureMessage` calls.
With that information we can [decided whether to enabled it by default](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-docs/pull/2815#issuecomment-753719123).
