You like to live dangerously. :-) Personally I just use NTP and configure proper time zones. It's been many years since I encountered either of the situations that you mentioned. Perhaps I lead a sheltered life. Come to think of it, I do recall running into clock skew issues with "make" with NFS and parallel builds in a cluster, where the time stamps were only small fractions of a second off. For this sort of application I suppose a "human_time" module should report something like "35 microseconds", which I suppose is mildly more useful than "3.5e-05 seconds".
