3) I see some major overlap in your plans with Boost.Process. You are providing what amounts to a a simplified form of what I what Julio is doing in his SOC project. You might have a look at Julio's current design page and provide feedback:

I believe he would treat the various times you are measuring as attributes of the process class. So the code would be something like:
bp::cmdline cl("...do something..."); bp::generic_attributes attrs(cl);
bp::launcher l(attrs); bp::child c = l.start();
while (!c.exited()) { time_duration wall = attrs.wall; time_duration user = attrs.user; ... };
With the current design, one'd even do something like the following to measure the run time of the current process (as the original proposal does if I understood it correctly): bp::process p = bp::process.self(); // Or something like that; you get the idea. bp::attributes a = p.get_attributes(); // Now deal with the time attributes in a.
