Yeah, and having two %m means two gettimeofday calls.
Also, %c sort of implies %p, so having both is probably just a waste.
One other point is that it's probably a good idea to put in a %q in
there so that processes that don't have things like %v, %x don't have to
print a bunch of zeros (and also to prevent %a, %u from adding spaces
unnecessarily).
