First I fully agree on your arguments for a "-ttt" option - that would at
least give individuals the choise between UTC and localtime logging...

Another thing is the overall svlogd performance:

Last year I did some performance measurements on some *VERY* busy Solaris
and HP-UX systems - using a "localtime" modified svlogd...  :-)

The tests showed that calling localtime is about 25 times slower than
calling gmtime - unfortunately I never did the same measurement for
Linux-variants... (I might add that calling localtime_r is even slower than
localtime  ;-)

Switching back to gmtime saved me from upgrading the boxes - but I realize
that the above scenario is a somewhat extreme situation - and I still I
think that having the '-ttt' would be good.

kind regards Uffe
