If your application gets less CPU cycles it might become more sluggish.
The sleep time is defined as the minimum time the thread will sleep, not an exact time.

If another application eats most of your CPU, the one you're monitoring may not get enough of a timeslice to hit that sleeping thread just after a second, causing it to lag behind.
