Yeah, I can see that now that I tried in Firefox. I was using Chromium 
so far and there timestamps are exactly matching the ones from the 
tracepoint log. Which is what we want for easy correlation between the 
log and HTML..

Firefox corrupts that somehow by applying the large negative offset to 
everyhting. Perhaps around two year worth of negative seconds if my 
rough calculation can be trusted. Or Vis under Firefox, I wouldn't know 
really who is to blame.

I have no idea what to do here. :(
