[foxboro] Timing changes on loaded CP40

I have recently discovered that the timer for the OSP instruction of a
LOGIC block that is configured to run at 60 seconds continuously is
running at around 72 seconds. The relevant instructions are:
CST
IN ~BO02
OSP 60
OUT BO02
which is meant to generate a low pulse for one scan very 60 seconds.
 
The CP is heavily loaded (~1.5 overruns/sec, 973328 total memory free)
but I would not expect it to effect times. Of course it probably also
means the PID integral gains for the CP are also being effected
(admitedly only by around 17%).
 
Is this normal behaviour for a heavily loaded CP40?
