I think maybe we should start with creating a high performance 
inlined (for ldc/gdc) in-memory multi-threaded binary reference 
logger and then extend the interface in ways that does not make 
it noticeably slower using the reference logger as the baseline.

When logging to an external logging service you might want the 
logging service do the time-keeping so you don't get merged logs 
from multiple servers that are out of sync. In that case 
collecting absolute time locally is kinda pointless (although you 
might want to submit serial numbers and relative time between 
logging events from the same server).
