Would that total usage be much more apparent if we started
metering the delta between CPU times on subsequent polling
periods as a gauge measure? (As opposed to treating it as
a cumulative measure)

I don't think (max - min) would suffice to give an accurate
measure of the actual CPU time used, as the counter may have
reset multiple times in the course of the requested duration.
