Uh, have you read
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-CURRENT
particularly the point about
It is important to realize that CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and related functions
return the start time of the current transaction; their values do not
change during the transaction. timeofday() returns the wall clock time
and does advance during transactions.
