This change is small in nature but somewhat broad in scope. It "affects"

I say "affects" but the change will be unobservable other than in terms
of performance.
Observable enough to me.
:) Any apps you can think of that might show benefit from this?
Theoretically, this might affect heavily logging apps. IIRC, SPECjbb2000
was affected by currentTimeMillis performance. But, I see no reason in
trying to justify the change, apart from the targeted microbenchmark.
If by "logging" you mean java.util.logging then this should have no
effect as logging now calls os::javaTimeSystemUTC (through java.time),
to get more precise time stamps.
