582 minutes is clearly wrong.

Not if it's the sum of all threads that lived and died during the lifetime of the process. It's value is taken from the kernel's idea of the runtime. With KERN_PROC_INC_THREAD set, it will look at the thread storage for active threads, including the 'main()' thread. I haven't looked into detail, but I suspect when a thread dies it gets added to process runtime, and is stored nowhere else.

I see. Thank You!


Aside from the different machines, you also took 2 different daemons, which fits this: named uses a static thread pool, by design, sum(nthreads) will equal the process time mysqld uses a dynamic thread pool, sum(nthreads) is really sum(nthreads_active).

I haven't looked into detail

I see.

O.K.
