Do as you feel. Actually my question was whether keeping the original start_time was the intended design. I think some places are okay with keeping the original value, but the ones in addScript, the per-thread loop in main(), and the global one also in main() should all be getting a 0.0 instead of leaving the value uninitialized. (I did turn the arguments around so that the bool is second and the float is third.
