109.5 % looks too large.  There are estimates and heuristics
in comutation of "Total" time.  Or maybe you found some
accounting paradox where some time was not counted towards
100% but was counted in other place.  Some tools show
parallel execution dividing CPU time by real time, but
I did not see anything like that in FriCAS profiling
data.

"TRUNCATE" is Lisp division with remainder.  FriCAS uses is
almost exlusivly for integer arguments but Lisp defines it
also for floats.
