AFAIK, the "real" time is pretty meaningless. It just says how much time 
passed between prg start and prg end.
The "user" time is the interesting one. It says how much processor time 
the prg used actually doing something instead of waiting to be sheduled 
by the OS. That's why a multithreaded app on a multi-core can have 
higher user time than real time.
