Hmm. Referring to this paper:

http://team358.org/files/programming...Everything.PDF

... it looks like the 10ms wait causes an average execution time of 12 ms, whereas the "wait until next multiple" averages 10ms. That's why I assumed the wait was serialized.

Mark, could you expound on that?

(I deleted the original post pending resolution of this. I don't want anyone to be misled by it.)
