You may be seeing either of the following:

1. Loss of real-time clock resolution due to virtualization
   (or support from the host OS)
2. Delays imposed on your instance by the hypervisor to maintain QoS
   for other users on the same hardware

Try this on real hardware; otherwise there is too much chaos in a
virtualized environment to be able to draw concrete conclusions.
