Of course, dhrystone measures only user mode execution times, but
everything that is done during interupts is charged for the current
process.

On an otherwise idle system, where only your process runs, every clock
tick is charged for you (thus your times(3)-time is wallclock-time),
but not only your process, but also the clock interrupt handler
consumes CPU cycles.
