This patch reduces the number of time()/gettimeofday() system calls when
doing high volume processing. This enables about 25% speed increase
during journal replay and "BATCH" processing. (this is a function of
syscall overhead).
* note when "BATCH" processing or journal replay starts, use that
timestamp for all commands
* use the batch start time to detect when we're in batch mode. no longer
need a separate boolean.
* pass the time_t into handle_request
* pass the time_t through to the commands that need it
