BrowserUk,

Sometimes the best way is an example: 

time perllvm -sw BrowserUK_991333.pl 3 9
4093
Took: 14.9486489295959

real    0m15.143s
user    0m14.981s
sys     0m0.164s

To execute your test-case, 'real' should also include the time to load and execute the LLVM Perl ( perllvm ) as well as the compile time of the script and then the execution and any wait time and exit. So 'real' is all inclusive, It's a easy way to find the total time of any *nix command. 'user' is the time perllvm was executing and 'sys' is the time that system resources ( including loading and executing ) was used.
Note: In pseudo Perl ( untested ) 

'real' >= 'user' + 'sys';         # approximately :-)

Your test-case was cpu intensive, while my test-case did a lot of I/O. ( 1_000_000 random writes, 1_000_000 reads forward, and 1_000_000 reads backward ). But as you can see, it still was cpu intensive. 

time perllvm -E '$in = <>;'

real    0m5.609s
user    0m0.008s
sys     0m0.004s

With this I just counted to 5 and hit return. In this case, 'real' is wall clock time.
