We had a report for higher cpu usage with 9.17 that I assume is related to the constant waking up of the background goroutine to update the cached time. This PR is opened to continue the investigation of the issue and provide a potential fix. If this "optimization" of the hot path is found to be the underlying issue, it may be implemented under a configuration option that can be enabled only from people that are aware of the potential tradeoffs (higher idle cpu usage for slightly better throughput)
Potentially fixes #3608
