CPU in one second does many things. Not all of the second is spent on Rosetta. So in one hour of "real time", the CPU may have spent 59 minutes on Rosetta - or 30 minutes.

CPU time is how much has been spent on Rosetta.

Please - ask your question in YOUR language too - someone may speak it!

Aside from the fact that it is meaningless, you cannot.

If you are doing work on 4 projects and interleaving time between them, the CPU time tells you how long each work unit/result takes. How long it takes that work unit to arrive, process, and be returned is not very meaningful.

You CAN look at the issue and return date/times listed in the result page for each and every result. But, if you have reasonable resource shares and on time ... the work will be done before deadlines.
