Clearly, DELAY 2 gobbles up 2/3 of the extra time that you're
complaining about; and DELAY.EXE, in my experience, is not precise -- if
the CPU is otherwise engaged, "DELAY 2" can prolong into 3+.
On the very rare occasions when I've need a delay, I've found the pause
command to be both helpful and accurate:
BX P nQ2 -- where n is the number of seconds to pause.
There is also a U2 command, SLEEP.
