It's whatever time the log method was called and the message was printed.

  • so is it a start or the finish time? You said both right here. – shiro Apr 27 '14 at 20:13
  • I don't know what you are getting at, but I really don't think it matters or that it will help in solving whatever your actual problem is. – Karakuri Apr 27 '14 at 20:14
  • it does matter. I want to see which task is doing first. if it shows the start time, I know it was in the order. If it show finish time, then I need to find another way to track the order. Make sense? – shiro Apr 27 '14 at 20:17
  • There's no concept of a "task" except in your code. You can print two logs, one when a task starts and another when it finishes. Print something like "start task with id = ..." and "end task with id = ..." (or something else besides an id that is unique to each task). Then you can see when each starts and when each ends and in which order. Bottom line, don't rely on the implementation of something you don't control. – Karakuri Apr 27 '14 at 20:22
