Do you want the elapsed cpu time to include the time it takes to compute 
the elapsed time?  You can rearrange it just a bit --
       current_time = Time.now
       current_cpu_time = get_process_cpu_time
       elapsed_time = current_time - @previous_time
       elapsed_cpu_time = current_cpu_time - @previous_cpu_time

-- but that's definitely a nit!
