It strikes me that low-level time primitives should accept counts of
seconds (either integers, or floats) in addition to the funky (HIGH LOW
USEC PSEC) format that they currently accept.This would be cheap to add
at the low level, and would remove the need for many calls to
seconds-to-time, including the abovementioned one, and would mean Emacs
wouldn't need to preload time-date.el. Also, doing the conversion in C
would lessen the amount of timing error introduced by the conversion itself.
