That'd been bothering me too.  A glance at the vacuum code makes it
clear that what's being reported is not elapsed time at all: the numbers
are user and system CPU time.  OK, that's cool, but the wording of the
notice message needs to be changed to identify the numbers correctly.

Do we need to have actual wall clock time in there too?
