Just a quick note: the different length of second per namespace sounds
very interesting in my POV, I remember I've seen this article:
http://publish.illinois.edu/science-of-security-lablet/files/2014/05/DSSnet-A-Smart-Grid-Modeling-Platform-Combining-Electrical-Power-Distributtion-System-Simulation-and-Software-Defined-Networking-Emulation.pdf

And their realisation with a simulation of time going with different speed
per-pid  (with vdso disabled):
