Since the patch on bug 1211726 landed the gecko log gets spammed with messages like this:

https://public-artifacts.taskcluster.net/NcySm3h_Qgu-67M6K17ZVQ/0/public/logs/live_backing.log

> [task 2017-02-15T17:06:22.199910Z] 17:06:22     INFO -  No birth date. Using mtime.
> [task 2017-02-15T17:06:22.200735Z] 17:06:22     INFO -  Using date: /home/worker/workspace/build/tmponb2Mq.mozrunner-1487178379/minidumps = Wed Feb 15 2017 17:06:18 GMT+0000 (UTC)

It at least happens for every file inside the profile. Not sure if files outside of the profile are also affected.

Here the both commits in the regression range. This spam is not visible for 5b4b9186421c:

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Maybe the above also has other consequences in how we store and retain data. As such I will ask for blocking 54.
