If I put in your changes to the routine I get 2000 matches.

So do you think that the reason that the laptops like mine are having this problem could be caused because they are made from lower quality components than say a Dell?

    That's my GUESS, the timer support chips in your laptop either are partially defective, or poor quality( low speed). Or some other factor on your motherboard interferes. But after reading tilly's responses, maybe there is some problem in the kernel your slow laptop is using.
