The former one was what I took measures for that. I expect it works as long as the process is done within the most accurate time.

The code was designed so that the cache could be computed in parallel by
many processes, but that some process would see the 'current' state of
the system and write a correct cache file.
I remain mystified as to why this doesn't actually work; is it file
systems with coarse (1s) timestamps causing troubles? Or can someone
construct a sequence of operations which cannot be satisfied by this
process, even with arbitrarily precise timestamps?
