We are finally getting around to implementing a robust logging solution within Yesod. This creates the issue of having to frequently access the system time. I see that Snap has a separate thread to get the system time and cache the result [1].
That is an absurd non-optimisation. It costs just a few dozen nanoseconds to get the time of day under OS X, and Linux should be even cheaper since it doesn't involve a system call. It wouldn't surprise me if the approach above is actually slower.
