I have no idea what $QCTAvgSecs is; it might, or it might not.
Intuitively, though, I would say that no matter what $QCTAvgSecs
is, the sprintf is going to be slower.
An even better way would be POSIX::floor, as perldoc -f int will
tell us, although that might also be slower than int.
use POSIX qw(floor);
my $pi = 3.1415927;
print floor $pi;
