+1 The patch rounds down sd->start_time from ms to s but it seems to
me a degradation.

If I understand the op correctly, the problem here is the time values
in pgbench log file are based on a bogus epoch. If it's the only issue
here and and if we just want to show the time based on the unix epoch
time, just recording the difference would work as I scketched in the
attached. (Precisely theepoch would move if we set the system clock
but I don't think that matters:p)

I'm not sure we have transaction lasts for very short time that
nanoseconds matters.
