Which timer are you using - ITIMER_REAL or some other timer?

I have noticed that my mill bound job is "throttled" when I use the "Unix"
timers. If I run the job without ever setting up a timer then I get 100% of
the mill. If I set a periodic timer - using the setitimer function then I
only get 50% of the CPU - the rest appears to be lost. By lost I mean I
don't get it nor does the system idle task.
