Also there's overhead associated with putting the code into the middle of the draw loop. The speed at which this loop runs will depend on more than just the code you want to target. Maybe alter it so that it spawns a separate thread which performs whatever code you're testing and just have it report back every X iterations how fast its running. That would eliminate some of the jitter due to variations in drawing time, as well as anything else that the drawing thread is doing.
