I get the same results:

    $ touch empty

    $ chmod +x empty 

    $ time ./empty 

        real    0m0.005s
        user    0m0.001s
        sys     0m0.001s

    $ echo "int main(){return 0;}" > trivial.c

    $ gcc trivial.c -o trivial

    $ time ./trivial

        real    0m0.002s
        user    0m0.001s
        sys     0m0.002s
