Comment (by dgoulet):

 This surprises me. I've been running perf on my fast relay
 (https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/A69221A7EC7498D2F88A0FB795261013FA36CAAE)
 and time call is just far from being the top CPU consumer...

 On Linux, getting the time is a vdso so unless somehow their time call
 became a syscall, I don't see how this could all of the sudden become a
 huge impact. A very quick strace of the process could tell us if they see
 syscall for time (or perf/ftrace/lttng/<insert tracer>).

 If not, I would first suspect a kernel issue here with a rate that large.
