Hmm... first guess is that you have 68030s in your hp300s?  One my
25MHz 68040 hp380:

basalt:thorpej 256$ ./a.out
0 + 54520
0 + 50062
0 + 50358
0 + 57603
0 + 57942
0 + 58283
0 + 58619
0 + 58960
0 + 56348
0 + 56707
basalt:thorpej 257$ 

It's important to note that sleep(3) actually _suspends_ execution; the
process will not accumulate user time during that call.  It _will_,
however, accumulate user time while user code is executing, and
on slower processors, that takes longer.  Thus you will see "inflated"
values for ru_utime as compared to systems with faster processors.

I'm guessing that the i386 that you ran this program on is a faster box
than your hp300s :-)
