As for the CPU, I belive that it tells how much of CPU time the
eggdrop used. Basically if the computer would be without multitasking,
how much of the time would take the eggdrop to do the same amount of
work. 

If that time grows fast, that means our eggdrop is heavy on the
server's CPU. Though it will grow with time anyway. Since it needs to
use CPU.

Also compute average CPU utilization, by dividing that time by bot's
uptime.
