Obviously the freenet client should use the current date and time as the
target for a DBR (does a web browser put the current date and time in the
HTTP headers for a request? If it did we could maybe consider using that)
and currently the freenet node implementation will use its concept of date
and time for doing this.

BUT servers should really not rely on absolute time unless absolutely
necessary, and using absolute time to implement a LRU seems very wrong to
me.  I'm no java expert, but is there no other way to do it?
