What does the "times" command of the Bourne shell actually tell me? Is
it user time + system time for sh itself, then user time + system time for
children? I presume that it's a pretty simple rendering of the information
returned by times().

Well, to quote from the SunOS 4.0 SH(1) (derived from the S5R3 one): times Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. The first figure it prints is the user time for children of the shell, the second figure is the system time for children of the shell; both are given in minutes and seconds.
