First of all, ngx_process_events() is the function that actually _waits_
and updates process time.  So, there's no sense to move the calculation
of delta elsewhere, since ngx_current_msec will be the same anyway.

In most cases the time is spend by waiting on kernel for events, not by
processing the events and executing handlers.

Normally ngx_event_process_posted should not spend 2ms, otherwise that
would result in less than 500 rps, which can only indicate blocking issue
or overload.
