Do you print every timestamp?  Or just selected ones?  I was assuming you
timestamped a lot of values and only printed a select few.  So delay the
conversion until printing.

If you are printing every time stamp, maybe just printing the timeval/spec
is enough.  How are the logs decoded?

All depends on purpose, app usage and how far the conversion can be
delayed.  Avoid transformations on "raw" data as long as possible.
