Seems to be one of my not that good days...
Rereading and this time understanding your mail...
A factor of 120 _is_ strange. Do you run this in a 
Windows DOS box or under plain DOS? The only idea
I have right now that running under W95 screws up the timer, 
if you run under DOS, it should behave quite normal. 

What exactly does you program do? Is there a lot of
swapping? Any networking stuff included?
Please post how much memory you have available, 
and how much your program approximately consumes.
