Now I have spotted my mistake I think that the terminology in the Beta is clear.
(total time = sum of core times, elapsed time = overall run time)

The terminology is also clear in 3.6. (elapsed time = total time)

What is confusing is when they are compared as total time <> elapsed time.

Its not the program its just a change in users understanding what's actually
going on.  This question would never have risen if I'd started more rigorously
and timed the versions with a totally independent clock, buts going too far for
a casual user playing at home.

Thanks, Graeme.
