Strange behaviour of the Round Robin policy

     I'm using RedHat Linux V2.2.13 and I made the following test:
     
     I launched 10 times the same program with priority 10 of Round Robin
     policy (from a shell having priority 20 of FIFO policy). Each program
     does an infinite busy loop (while (1)).
     One minute later, I launched the "ps" command and I was expected that
     the TIME values of all these processes are in an interval which is T
     large, where T is given by sched_rr_get_interval() i.e. T=150ms in
     this release.
     
     But the ps result was:
     PID TTY TIME CMD
     652 tty1 00:00:00 login
     1549 tty1 00:00:00 bash
     1566 tty1 00:00:00 bash
     1596 tty1 00:01:12 my_program
     1597 tty1 00:00:02 my_program
     1598 tty1 00:00:01 my_program
     1599 tty1 00:00:01 my_program
     1600 tty1 00:00:05 my_program
     1601 tty1 00:00:01 my_program
     1602 tty1 00:00:00 my_program
     1603 tty1 00:00:16 my_program
     1604 tty1 00:00:01 my_program
     1605 tty1 00:00:00 my_program
     1610 tty1 00:00:00 ps
     
     Does someone have any explanation of this behavior? Thanks in advance.
