I think using Duration would be OK here, even though the CPU time was
used up in a discontinuous manner. The returned value is, in essence,
a sum of many smaller durations.

I'd also suggest adjusting the two method names:
startTime() -> startInstant()
totalTime() -> totalCpuDuration()

Those communicate the intent more clearly IMO.
