Stop relying on time #4
Description
Using real time in a distributed application is apparently a Very Bad Idea (tm).
Use Lamport timestamps or vector clocks for detecting race conditions.
Find some equivalent of CLOCK_MONOTONIC for Node.lastHeardFrom.
Fix the Cluster.sendToIP timers to not use real time.
