Not just blindly everywhere. I think wall clock time is needed only in some places like jsDateTime, HTTP Resource Caching,..

Yes, it is a kind of optimization. The issue is some of the platform wall clock timer's accuracy is about 10ms(what we using), but monotonicallyIncreasingTime's accuracy is < 1ms.
