This most likely is related to scheduling inside the RTOS of the GPS
receiver. Due to the frequency difference between GPS second and
internal clock processing that we can expect, the scheduling needs
re-alignment. There is an overlap between "late" and "early" which
indicate that a dynamic scheduling, so depending on when things get
ready it gets early or late. Variations within each time-slot is then
due to processing variations.
