java timer problem

hi all,

i have an engine runs on weblogic at a unix machine. in my engine i have a timer and the timer writes to the log every 1 minute. but my log looks like that;

INFO 2007-03-05 15:49:41,626 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...
INFO 2007-03-05 15:50:59,786 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...
INFO 2007-03-05 15:52:18,414 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...
INFO 2007-03-05 15:53:36,846 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...
INFO 2007-03-05 15:54:55,473 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...
INFO 2007-03-05 15:56:14,135 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...
INFO 2007-03-05 15:57:32,463 aa.bb.cc.MyEngine - one minute passed...

why the difference between 2 log statements doesnt equal 60 second, equals about 80 second?

my code like that;

private int secondCount       = 0;
private int timerCount             = 0;
private Timer timer                  = null;
.....

public void sendData() {

      timer = new Timer();
      timer.schedule(new RemindTask(),      0, 100);

      while (notFalse) {            
            ...
      }
      ...      
      timer.cancel();
}

class RemindTask extends TimerTask {
 
public void run() {                    
        timerCount++;
        if (timerCount > 9) {      ////// when 1 second passed
                                  
              timerCount      = 0;
              ...              
              secondCount++;
              
              if (secondCount>59) {            ///////////// when 1 minute passed
                    
                    secondCount = 0;
                    logger.info("one minute passed...");                    
                    ...
              }
      }
}
