 I agree.

 I have already added this feature to the code.

 The latest dmesg(1) changes:

  * -T, --ctime       : print human readable timestamps

[Mon Jul 18 22:30:51 2011] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.15
[Mon Jul 18 22:30:51 2011] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[Mon Jul 18 22:30:51 2011] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3


  * -d, --show-delta  : display the time spent between messages.
                       (based on kernel scripts/show_delat).

[   37.727490 <    0.157379>] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.15
[   37.729090 <    0.001600>] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[   37.964308 <    0.235218>] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3


 It's possible to mix the options (dmesg -d -T):

[Mon Jul 18 22:30:51 2011 <    0.157379>] Bluetooth: L2CAP ver 2.15
[Mon Jul 18 22:30:51 2011 <    0.001600>] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[Mon Jul 18 22:30:51 2011 <    0.235218>] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
