Yes, it seems to switch between two 'modes', one being effectively single
tasking, and the other multi-tasking. This gives the change you are seeing.
The 'loop' time, can be measured very easily with a scope, by setting a motor
output to the lowest forward speed, and measuring the pulse width generated.
