Question: Timing seems longer on 16 than 12

Question:Timing seems longer on 16 than 12

A simple timing program

st:=time():
for i to 35 do
  i;
end do;
time()-st;

On M16 seems to display after 7 seconds, the time reads 0.010
On M12 it displays in roughly 2 seconds with the time as 0.170

It is physically longer with M16.  Do others get the same results?

**edit add**
No comments?  I should add that it is a laptop 1.4Ghz single core.  Not that it matters but maybe M16 is set up to work more efficiently on multi-core desktops and with better graphics cards, which would of course affect the display speed but not necessarily the cpu usage time which is what time() measures.

Please Wait...
