This is an interesting theory.

Yes, this really supports your theory. The output is at least 400*'A',
then 400*'B', 400*'A' and so on. So one time-slice is long enough to
execute 400 statements. So now there is only one question: how to change
the duration? But I suppose that it's not very neccessary to change it.
