I'm attaching a test script (test_times.py) that forks a child which runs for 5 seconds, waits for the child, then prints the time taken by the child according to os.times(). I have a machine where os.times() reproducably reports that 8.33 seconds have been spent, although indeed only 5 seconds pass: ====================================== # time python test_times.py 8.33333333333 real 0m5.018s user 0m5.008s sys 0m0.008s ====================================== I don't know which characteristics of the machine are causing this.

have been spent, although indeed only 5 seconds pass:

======================================
# time python test_times.py
8.33333333333

real    0m5.018s
user    0m5.008s
sys     0m0.008s

I don't know which characteristics of the machine are causing this.
