Has anyone noticed a problem with ?

If so, is this a new thing or has it existed for a while?

I was testing a new script and noticed that the wait time on one of the tasks seemed long. So I ran it again and timed it, sure enough it took took 47 seconds to complete. So then I wrote a little test procedure and takes anywhere from 69 to 72 seconds to complete.

Can someone run this on their machine and let me know if you are seeing the same results?



FYI, I tried the same with a and it returned 60 each time.

I was curious about this issue.

I ran your test code, modified to repeatedly try times between 5 to 100 seconds and doing it multiple times.

I found they always came back too long.

It was quite consistent for multiple tries, usually within a second on each attempt.

It is not a constant offset so not caused by overheads in initialising the code.

I found it took 19-23% longer than asked for. Doesn't get noticeably better or worse for longer/shorter times.

Interesting. Some overhead was expected, but not so much (on my main platform, 0.1%). A better algorithm can be included in the next release.
On which system do you get so much time ?

I'm running Win10 Home. I'm seeing 16 - 20% on my system.
