Yes.

In fact, since you are using this on Windows NT, there are three clocks used
to tell how long the render takes.
1) The "Total Time" in the render statistics: This is the time from the
instant POV-Ray starts parsing, to the instant POV-Ray finishes calculating
the last pixel.
2) The CPU time used: This is the actual number of seconds that the CPU
spent rendering the scene.
3) The time at the bottom of the POV-Ray window: This is the time elapsed
between when you clicked on the "Render" button, and when the renderer
finished execution and exited.
