  No, it's the timestamp which is imporant; speaking of time, did anyone mention
that journal is quite slow on rotating HDDs?

% time journalctl -u postfix -n 1

  I know that SSD are current storage technology, but there are some people with
HDDs left, and they will complain.  They already complain “systemctl status foo”
takes half a minute to pull logs back.

 (above ”time journalctl …” comes from system with Intel Sandy Bridge CPU,
ext4 over dm-crypt over 4xSATA 7200 mdraid).
