Checking the Milliseconds

[Tom Glod]

I closed everything down to make sure the core was being used as little as
possible.
It didn't make a difference in the counts or the variance I reported
earlier.
I guess its not important, but it sure is curious.
I think it means the engine is busy with something most of the time, and
once in a while it is less busy?.

my numbers seem unusual compared to what you reported. :/

When I build a standalone, its the same kind of variance, just slower
....haha,




My numbers look like this.
