From mod_log_config.c:
/* ### I think getting the time again at the end of the request
* just for logging is dumb. i know it's "required" for CLF.
* folks writing log parsing tools don't realise that out of order
* times have always been possible (consider what happens if one
* process calculates the time to log, but then there's a context
* switch before it writes and before that process is run again the
* log rotation occurs) and they should just fix their tools rather
* than force the server to pay extra cpu cycles. if you've got
* a problem with this, you can set the define. -djg
