How often did you run your measurement? 4ms is not a whole lot and can easily be skewed by sudden system load or other noise. You should call the function more often and/or repeat the measurement several times before coming to a judgement (except, possibly, that it doesn’t matter). cheers, jwi -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
