profile module behavior

[Joe Murray]

Dear All,

Is this normal profile.run() standard report output?

         24057864 function calls in -3365.677 CPU seconds

   Ordered by: standard name

What do negative numbers mean?  :)  Seems like my code was fast, but I
didn't know it was done, well, basically yesterday!

Hoping that the answer to my question is NOT obviously documented,

joe
