On an unprivilged account, I get this with

From the root account where the scheduler could be set:

[root@chaos root]# time /tmp/xxx

... essentially the same thing. And 2 seconds, not 8.

The HZ value for my kernel is 1000. It you are at 100 HZ,
that might explain it.
No, it means he is at 250 HZ.



Note that nanosleep() doesn't claim to be able to sleep
less than the resolution of some kernel timer. It just takes
parameters in seconds and nanoseconds.

In general small nanosleep() returns between 1/HZ and 2/HZ. In this code, the sleep is (indirectly) synchronised on a tick so it's always 2/HZ, the worse!

1000 small nanosleeps take therefore 1000 * 2/HZ s = 8s :-)
