setitimer expires in wrong time

I set a timer using setitimer to expire every 30 ms.
Usually it does. But sometimes it takes ~ 700 ms between 2 successive arousals (expirations). The timing is crucial for me.

The process with the timer is almost the only one running on the computer.

How do I overcome this problem?

You have to elevate the priroity of the process so it has a higher prioity than any of the other processes
