Optimizing alternatives to DateTime.Now

Question

A colleague and I are going back and forth on this issue and I\'m hoping to get some outside opinions as to whether or not my proposed solution is a good idea.

Answer 1

Could you just use DateTime.UtcNow, and only convert to local time when the data is presented? You've already determined that DateTime.UtcNow is much faster and it will remove any ambiguity around DST.
