Thanks for the suggestions and confirmation that Duration is not a misuse
of that type for this purpose.

ProcessHandle.Info provides a startTime and totalTime. But it seems odd and
inconsistent that startTime is an Instant, yet totalTime is a raw long as

went with a raw long for this property?
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.
