I agree.  Converting to Argument Clinic should not cause a performance 
regression.  Please don't add new calls to time() for the sake of making 
code more generic.

A better choice would be to write a converter function in C, then use a 
custom converter that called it.  Nikolaus: Is that something you're 
comfortable doing?
