@Zach, "it would be nice" to know more about this.  I tried your little program 
on a desktop box, 32-bit Windows Vista, Python 3.3.2, but I boosted the loop 
count to 10,000.  So it ran well over an hour, with a wide variety of other 
loads (from 0 to 4 (of 4) cores busy).  `dt` was never less than 0.5.  It was 
exactly 0.5 9,997(!) times, and a little larger than 0.5 the remaining 3 times. 
 Yes, I was surprised too ;-)
