formatmethod.The default
FORMATstring is currently:"%10.6u %10.6y %10.6t %10.6r\n"This represents user time, system time, total time, and elapsed real time, respectively.
The current documentation forgets to mention that total time is included.
Certain references to the total time suggest that they are a sum of user CPU time and system CPU time. I think we should be more specific and highlight that the total includes the children's user and system CPU times as it is not readily apparent until looking much deeper into the documentation and codebase.
