Maybe floats are a proper problem domain solution. If you're just using time representation to compare two dates (e.g. order a chain of events), then you probably don't need precise datetime.

Not the local object is returned, but a copy of it. Later he implements what's needed to make the move semantics work. Then the data of the local object is moved instead of copied. But even then the local object won't be returned directly. What you mean is returning the memory address of a local non-static object. ...

this idea is as old as the hills. take a stack trace every so often: if a method is in a lot of the stacktraces, you are (probably) spending a lot of time there, so take a look. you can do the same thing with jvisualvm / jstack - but its harder to script, just use your eyes.
