[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55940] pause() takes too long if you call it a bunch

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #55940 (project octave):

Is it possible that the delay is accurate when run in Octave, but the
reporting is incorrect?  In other words, is there something wrong with
tic/toc?

I put the following code in a file tst_delay.m


for i = 1:100
  pause(0.2);
  disp (i);
endfor


Then I ran


time run-octave -f tst_delay.m
0.385u 0.123s 0:20.58 2.4%      0+0k 20960+144io 116pf+0w


The third column is wall time which is about 20 seconds and is what I would
expect for 100, 0.2 second delays.
