The TS optimization functions don't work every well using time as an
input because there are 60 minutes in an hour. Instead of testing 0950,
0955, 1000, 1005, it will test 0950, 0955, 0960, 0965... invalid times.

Try the calctime function:

Input: add_mins(10);
Var: BTime(0);
BTime = calctime(sess1starttime,add_mins); 

For the SP, with the default input, BTime = 0930 + 10 = 0940. Then
optimize for add_mins.
