I agree. Is there any reason for ZODB to actually keep timestamps rather than just use serial version ids?
Most storages need a timestamp anyway for time-related packing.
(I understand calls to get the system tiem are expensive, incrementing an integer number by one should be somewhat less expensive...)
No more expensive than any other OS call. ZODB currently uses only a few calls to time() per transaction, so there is little to be saved.
