The output is in three sections.  The first shows the top ten most executed
commands while the script is tracing.

The second (Top 10 exclusive elapsed times) shows us the top ten slowest 
commands or procedures, this number excludes any subroutines called during 
command execution.

The third (Top 10 inclusive elapsed times) shows us the top ten slowest
commands or procedures including any time spent in subroutines.  You can see
that func_a took the most amount of time all up.  This makes sense if you
compare the code at Code/Tcl/func_abc.tcl with the results.
