When you do a dstat of the clock, Comet queries windows for its current time. This time is updated every tick of the system clock. The ticks happen 18.2 times a second. That pause statement causes the program to wait one tick. That causes the time loop to update about every 5/100ths of a second.

I used the below program to test this. It was derived from your test program. Try running it, and then comment out the pause statement to see what you get.

Note: File activity also takes time.

nxt: 
	a$ = DSTAT("CL1") !!! UPDATE CLOCK FOR RANDOM key
	pause(1)
	if time$ ne result$
		print time$
		result$ = time$
	endif		
	goto nxt
