And you don't think that the fact that "about 20Khz" happens to be quite close to 31.25 Khz would ring a bell ?? As I wrote in another post : -- Have you setup OSCCON correctly ? -- I think that 31.25 Khz is the POR (power on) default. Try to set SIM to (something closer to) 31.25 and see if you don't get the same time as you see in your hardware. Then setup OSCCON correctly to get 8Mhz. And yes, this actualy means that the PIC will be running slowly *until* you set OSCCON in the code. By changing OSCON you can "gear" the PIC up and down in 8 steps between 8 Mhz and 31.25 Khz as you like.
