abstime[t_String] := AbsoluteTime[ToExpression[StringSplit[t, "-" | "
" | ".", 6]]];
Do[r1 = abstime["2008-12-01 12.34.56.454"], {10000}] // Timing
==> 0.2 sec
Do[r2 = AbsoluteTime[{"2008-12-01 12.34.56.454", {"Year", "Month",
"Day", "Hour", "Minute", "Second"}}], {10000}] // Timing ==> 27 sec
Floor[r1] == r2 ==> True
