They seem to fluctuate - not sure if that's supposed to be exact or if
below variations are normal -
This is when my compiles are running -

[parag@mini ~]$ while :; do time usleep 1111111; done

real    0m1.116s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

real    0m1.112s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

real    0m1.130s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.004s

real    0m1.144s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s


Thanks
