On platforms where neither HAVE_GMTOFF nor HAVE___OFFSET is defined, like Solaris, the function "get_offset" in apr/time/unix/time.c is a bottleneck in time formatting.
On these platforms, get_offset ignores its argument; it really computes the server's offset from GMT, normalized so that it's independent of daylight savings.
The following patch caches the offset after it's first computed, so that we don't have to compute it repeatedly.
