Ideally there should be no overhead from making log entries. On BG/P your 
date command only has 1s resolution, so its fairly likely that sometimes 
you'll get a 1s difference, sometimes 0s.

If two log entries in a row without anything between are giving more than 
that, then you/we should investigate what's happening there.
