$request_time is a total time of request processing, including
reading request from a client and sending response to the client.

$upstream_response_time is a time of obtaining response from an
upstream server.

The $request_time variable is expected to be always larger than
$upstream_response_time one as in addition to $upstream_response_time
it also includes at least a) reading request from a client and b)
sending (buffered part of) the response to the client. Both (a)
and (b) may take a while.
