That will be accurate over the long term with minimal jitter.

2) If (occasionally) the function takes longer than the
specified interval time, my approach does catch-up calls so
the average remains the same.
I'm still confused -- doesn't mine do that as well?
Yep. I missed it again. Clearly it does the catchup the next time
around the while loop.
