Profiling Results

My Programming Perl book says that profiling results should be forgiven 
some inaccuracies, but these numbers don't even seem close.  Can 
somebody explain that top function below to me?  An average call time of 
0.0002 times 175353 calls doesn't get anywhere near 4000 seconds the way 
I do math.  What am I not getting here?

Total Elapsed Time = 3810.790 Seconds
   User+System Time = 3800.240 Seconds
Exclusive Times
