os.times() in Python CGI application
<p>I'm having trouble understanding the documentation of <code>os.times()</code>. From <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/os.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.python.org/library/os.html</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Return a 5-tuple of floating point numbers indicating accumulated (processor or other) times, in seconds. The items are: user time, system time, children’s user time, children’s system time, and elapsed real time since a fixed point in the past, in that order. See the Unix manual page times(2) or the corresponding Windows Platform API documentation. On Windows, only the first two items are filled, the others are zero.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Finding any other resource on the command seems a bit challenging.</p>

<p>Assuming each CGI call spawns a new python process: what do the first two values of the following result from a <code>os.times()</code> actually tell me? What  am I actually measuring if I make use of them?</p>

<p><code>(0.2184014, 0.17160109999999998, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)</code></p>
