 * and then kept cached inside the action structure. Later requests will
 * always return that very same time. Wile not totally accurate, it is far
 * accurate in most cases and considered "acurate enough" for all cases.
 * When changing the threading model, please keep in mind that this
 * logic needs to be changed should we once allow more than one parallel
 * call into the same action (object). As this is currently not supported,
 * we simply cache the time inside the action object itself, after it
 * is under mutex protection.
 * Side-note: the value -1 is used as tActNow, because it also is the
 * error return value of time(). So we would do a retry with the next
 * invocation if time() failed. Then, of course, we would probably already
 * be in trouble, but for the sake of performance we accept this very,
 * very slight risk.
 * This logic has been added as part of an overall performance improvment
 * effort inspired by David Lang. -- rgerhards, 2008-09-16
 * Note: this function does not use the usual iRet call conventions
 * because that would provide little to no benefit but complicate things
 * a lot. So we simply return the system time.
