"The time utility executes and times the specified utility.  After the
     utility finishes, time writes to the standard error stream, (in seconds):
     the total time elapsed, the time used to execute the utility process and
     the time consumed by system overhead."

(not necessarily in that order?)

Am I wrong in interpreting that said act took 7 1/100's of a second of CPU time for itself, needed just under half a second of system overhead, but needed 20+ minutes end-to-end to complete by the wall-clock?
