Is it appropriate to just be reported in the same way as process time 
and controlled by a switch? You could just substitute in the different 
measurement method (wallclock time) into your current implementation. 
Then all the reporting mechanisms could be reused. The idea is to help 
identify bottlenecks that are IO related, i.e. database programs. So a 
high degree of accuracy isn't all that important and a line profiler is 
probably most useful.
