#171335 - Jitter
Responding to: ???'s previous message
In a complex case it would be harder to analyze but in this case it is easy. Jitter of the timer clocking as compared to the CPU clocking that fetches the JMP $ instruction is causing the variance of your interrupt rate. Adding the NOP to the ISR causes the ISR to beat more regularly with the JMP $ fetches. You could try keeping the NOP and then shortening the count for the timer reload to get a just bit faster interrupt rate.
