[squeak-dev] Delay time question

I compared with Jon Hylands and discovered a big difference between my
Ubuntu and his Windows results.

Time millisecondsToRun: [10 timesRepeat: [(Delay forMilliseconds: 1000)
wait]] 10015

Time millisecondsToRun: [100 timesRepeat: [(Delay forMilliseconds: 100)
wait]]  10015

Time millisecondsToRun: [1000 timesRepeat: [(Delay forMilliseconds: 10)
wait]]  13405

Time millisecondsToRun: [10000 timesRepeat: [(Delay forMilliseconds: 1)
wait]]  45728

He did the third test and got something like 10250 instead of my 13405.

Is this behavior well-known and understood or is there something wrong
with my install?  

Thanks for any help.  It's a big problem for my robot (and therefore me)
at the moment.
