The reason why CPU time is still given in centiseconds, is that Oracle is
unable to get CPU usage information in more detailed level than a timeslice
controlled by hardware clock and kernel settings, normally 10ms. (This might
change with the use of microstate accounting in the future, though).

Btw, when you check the documented views v$system_event and v$session_event,
those return wait times in centiseconds regardless of Oracle version (they
just divide the wait times by 10000 starting from 9i), it's just the
undocumented x$ views which may change between versions and patch levels..
