What does this mean?  That's not valid code.  What's the "msec" doing in there?

Is delay1 in seconds or milliseconds?  If the latter, then you're using it 
wrong in both of the above lines.

This may have something to do with App Nap or timer coalescing.  Is your app 
otherwise active during those delays?
