I have not found any straight way to get the run time of a processes,
without having to interpret the start_time entry in /proc/#/stat and
manually subtract the uptime from it.
This small file simply aids the users to obtain the information easier
and quicker. Another alternative would be to add an entry
in /proc/#/status.
