Since posting that message, a few additional tests have been run:

Most of the Unix daemons were killed (using "killall") -- no effect

The iteration counts were bumped way up -- marginal effect

So we're still stumped in other words.  For information's sake,
the timings are done by 9interfacing to the "C" routine
"times" within the program.

This should be much more accurate than either using the Unix time command or
A

the CALENDAR package.
