Others have answered most of this; I'll add a summary...
1. You can tell whether timed_statistics was activated by checking your
raw trace data. If you see any non-zero value for a tim field, it was
on.
2. The Oracle kernel gets its CPU time statistics from calls to the
getrusage system call (times on HP-UX). The getrusage function gets the
information from the OS process table. Except on Solaris with microstate
accounting activated, the OS process table gets its CPU statistics by
sampling at 0.01-second intervals. Of course, data sampled at
0.01-second intervals are accurate only to +/-0.01 seconds per sample.
For events that execute on the order of microseconds, odds are that
there will be significant error. But summing these values over a large
sample (like in a big trace file) still makes sense.
Full details (pictures, etc.) about all this are in the book "Optimizing
Oracle Performance."

Subject: tkprof and parse count?
Below is a simple tkprof output. Why is my parse count = 4? if there is
no CPU time used? I take this to mean, I did not incur a hard parse? How
come the 'count' goes up? I can't find this in the docs on metalink.
