You are getting confused by very poor terminology in the output: The 
CPU-seconds are not what is relevant, but the actual seconds it one line 
shows above are the time it took to render the scene.

I had not realized there was output like this in the current beta (and 
apparently many recent betas before). This is unintentional, so thanks for 
pointing out this confusing output.
