behave. Yes, I do indeed look at the mili-second accuracy
of sleep() calls of scripts. I am a time-nut after all ;-)

It's not a hardware issue. I tried C and perl on the same
machine and both gave me far better results (both were comparable
in their behaviour). It was just python that kind of misbehaves.
And no, it's not really old software either, unless you consider
python 3.7 to be really old. If you search for "python sleep
accuracy" you will find quite a few people who have the same
complaint, but most people blame it on the OS rather than python
itself.
