CPU time reconginzes the distinctuion between WallClockTime and the time the CPU is actually doing calculations. CPU time is computing, not including the time waiting for I/O or other running programs. We kjnow that ResponseTime <> CpuTime!

CPU time can be further divided into:

system time - Time spent doing OS work
user time - Time spent executing user program

CPU         + CPU      = ElapsedTime + I/O Time
   System        user
