Did you measure it with tic & toc or timer() (<=>cpu), i mean in a 
scilab way, or in another way ?
It could be either a matter of lack of doc, or else of scilab unconsistency.

The help page for profile() states that
/systems counts how many time each line is executed and how may cpu time 
is spend *for each line execution*.
These data are stored within the function data structure. The profile 
function allows to extract these data
and return them in the two first columns/

Did you try to multiply column#1 x column#2 and to add results?
I do not see anything else to try before bug reporting about 
undocumented time unit.
