On an Intel Linux 2.4.18 I get them quite often, 25 in 1'45", but they are all
just a microsecond.
On an Intel FreeBSD 3.3 I had one just after starting the program that was 2
secs behind. Then I stopped to restart with a leading under time and I've not
seen any since. (4'50" it was running) .529 .2
user/sys time = 0.53 on the Linux system
user/sys time = 0.2 on the FreeBSD one
Make of that what you will.
