Inaccurate Timer events

Hi,

I have noticed a strange behavior using both the System.Windows.Forms.Timer
and the System.Threading.Timer objects.

I have a WM2003SE application developed in VS2005. This application contains
a timer, which is setup to expire exactly 1 mimute after it has been started
(60000 ms). If I run the application with the device connected to AC power
(cradled) every things works, that is, I got the timer event right on time
( 1 min.). However if I run the application with the device disconnected
from AC power (uncradled) the timer expires after 1 minute and 14 seconds
(sharp every time). It doesn't matter if it is the debug or release version
of the application.

I am using a Qtek2020i (HTC) and have tried to run the device both in
standard mode and turbo mode (processor speed is adjustable). I have not
tried it on other devices, so I don't know if this issue is generic.

Does anyone have a clue of what that can be ?
