I don't know what you did to your system, but if that last number is the time it took in seconds (and I don't know what you did to your system's time either), there's something seriously wrong with it.
It's zsh's built-in time. There's nothing wrong with my system other than it being about 10 years old. Python is just that slow.

Take your FIOC back to /pr/.
