yep, I notice this also from the tests before. I was trying to shorten 
this period of time
logstate "RM_JOBDIR"
#rm -rf "$DIR" 2>&1 >& "$INFO"
#checkError 254 "Failed to remove job directory $DIR"

logstate "TOUCH_SUCCESS"

As I comment the above 2 lines out, there was stilll a time gap between 
these two time stamp.
