I would like to have (with the most possible accuracy) the time
when the request starts. (this will allow to reliably calculate
overload problems)

ngx_cached_time->sec can be different (oh yes we are talking about
milliseconds, but why not maintaining accuracy :) )

This is the relevant nginx code:

tp = ngx_timeofday();
r->start_sec = tp->sec;
r->start_msec = tp->msec;

#define ngx_timeofday()      (ngx_time_t *) ngx_cached_time
