Actually, that's only a 58% improvement. 138% improvement would be if it took 224 seconds to complete before, and now completes 85 seconds before being started. Also, this is a 138% improvement, or a 138 percent improvement, but a 138% percent improvement would mean that you shaved 138/10000 of the run time (about 3 seconds).
Normally I wouldn't bother with such unrelated and petty corrections, except for:
Just a note: in English, "software" is a collective noun, and you cannot say "a software". You can say "a software program", "a software application" or maybe also "a piece of software", but never "a software".
