AFAIK time(NULL) returns the system time, which is probably UTC on your
system?

BFS just don't care right now, but I think it would make sense to always
use UTC as a time base there.
Currently, BFS uses real_time_clock_usecs() which should be equivalent
to time(NULL) besides the higher resolution.
