Issue #18293 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).


It's quite a hotspot in our cache serializers:

  - https://github.com/Shopify/paquito/blob/aabd8740175f37b382d425da004636266d546901/lib/paquito/types.rb#L88
  - https://github.com/Shopify/paquito/blob/aabd8740175f37b382d425da004636266d546901/lib/paquito/types.rb#L173

All Active Record models have at least two `Time` instances, often a few more, so when you cache a few hundreds or thousand records for say a product collection page, it's not rare for `Time.at` to show up in production profiles as 2-3% of total request time.

Most people however use `Marshal` for this, so they'll see `Time#_dump` instead.
