I just have tighten up my feedback loop (i.e. I have to relearn all the stuff I've forgotten since the last time I looked at this a few months ago)...

How much do #Python clocks progress in "60 seconds"?

CLOCK_BOOTTIME 60.6
CLOCK_MONOTONIC 60.6
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW 56.0
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID 0.000952
CLOCK_REALTIME 60.6
CLOCK_TAI 60.6
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID 0.000952

Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is tracking the hardware #clock correctly.

So if you actually want to measure #time accurately, use that one.
