           Summary: Wrong use of REALTIME clock causes pages to fail

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.

There are a few places in webcore where the use of a REALTIME clock is wrong. The cases are simply measuring time from point A to point B and setting up timers. The use of a REALTIME clock in such cases will cause the measurement to be completely wrong and also cause timers to expire or not fire if the system time is changed between those events.
To avoid such problems, the use of MONOTONIC time is required.
