[Can you please convince your mailer to wrap long lines, and use proper
line breaks when quoting code, so that your mail is legible?]

At this point, I'd suggest the best way of knowing what times are
returned is checking the source code; but patches to make the
documentation more obvious for the next person would be appreciated.

If you want more statistics, which might provide you with more accuracy,
you might also be interested in looking at the virDomainGetCPUStats.
