Indeed, which is why we're investigating and trying to resolve this.

Yes it seems to be just Mono that has this issue.

We've mostly been continuing what Doug Bagley started, so there's a
reluctance to mess with that. 
There are issues with the timing resolution we get with user-time &
sys-time, but there are also issues with using wall-clock time - you'll
notice that many of the compiled languages have very similar times, and
some might suggest that wall-clock time would just introduce more
variation unrelated to program runtime.
