The Basic Stamp runs at quite higher than 40 Hz. It executes somewhere in the thousands (tens of thousands?) of PBasic instructions per second. These are a much higher level construct than assembly language so it executes even more instructions per second.
I believe the ~40 Hz number you produced came from the fact that the robot controller received input data approximately 40 times a second. Given that it blocked before reading data, it basically meant you went through your loop 40 times per second.
