Hello,

Fully agree to changing the subject line.

Execution times may not be consistent for one simple reason:
you are using pre-emptive multitasking operating system, therefore
during the execution of current thread the system may switch the tasks
and come back to your task several hundreds of milliseconds later.

Best regards,
