Did the following code:
Open in online IDE
count1 = MilliSecs()
For x=1 To 100000000
Next
count2 = MilliSecs()

count3 = MilliSecs()
For x =1 To 100000000
Next
count4 = MilliSecs()

Print count2 - count1
Print count4 - count3
MouseWait
End

The loops are identical, yet I get a reading of about 416 for the first, and about 384 for the second. Shouldn't identical code take the same time? Yet every time I run it, the first is always slower than the second. What's going on? (P.S. I am running it with debug OFF).
