We have one particular issue with Redis as we see huge amounts of gettimeoftheday calls inside Redis. One of the problem sources seems to be this:
https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/9b7f8b1c9b379ab842d40df4636dfbbeb6376fcb/src/redis.c#L2089-L2091

It seems the duration is mainly used for SLOWLOGs. Could this be disabled somehow? E.g.

Only call the ustime two times IF

flags & REDIS_CALL_STATS

OR

flags & REDIS_CALL_SLOWLOG && c->cmd->proc != execCommand

I think it is worth to check these and not to call ustime unnecessarily.
