fwrite takes extremely long time

After my previous thread, I think I found out what causes the long delays. I run this program on several Linux computers, and the sometimes (after the file with the arrays becomes big) the fwrite takes between 100 ms to 900 ms. This is very bad for me, as I want a timer to halt each 30 ms.... ...

FWRITE(3)								 1								 FWRITE(3)

fwrite - Binary-safe file write

SYNOPSIS

       int fwrite (resource  $handle, string  $string, [int  $length])

DESCRIPTION

       fwrite(3) writes the contents of $string to the file stream pointed to by $handle.

PARAMETERS

	      o $handle
		-A file system pointer resource that is typically created using fopen(3).

	      o $string
		- The string that is to be written.

	      o $length
		-  If  the  $length  argument  is given, writing will stop after $length bytes have been written or the end of $string is reached,
		whichever comes first.	Note that if the $length argument is given, then the magic_quotes_runtime  configuration  option  will	be
		ignored and no slashes will be stripped from $string.

RETURN VALUES

       fwrite(3) returns the number of bytes written, or FALSE on error.

NOTES

       Note

	       Writing to a network stream may end before the whole string is written. Return value of fwrite(3) may be checked:

	      <?php
	      function fwrite_stream($fp, $string) {
		  for ($written = 0; $written < strlen($string); $written += $fwrite) {
		      $fwrite = fwrite($fp, substr($string, $written));
		      if ($fwrite === false) {
			  return $written;
		      }
		  }
		  return $written;
	      }
	      ?>

       Note

	       On  systems  which differentiate between binary and text files (i.e. Windows) the file must be opened with 'b' included in fopen(3)
	      mode parameter.

       Note

	       If $handle was fopen(3)ed in append mode, fwrite(3)s are atomic (unless the size of $string exceeds the filesystem's block size, on
	      some  platforms,	and as long as the file is on a local filesystem). That is, there is no need to flock(3) a resource before calling
	      fwrite(3); all of the data will be written without interruption.

       Note

	       If writing twice to the file pointer, then the data will be appended to the end of the file content:

	      <?php
	      $fp = fopen('data.txt', 'w');
	      fwrite($fp, '1');
	      fwrite($fp, '23');
	      fclose($fp);

	      // the content of 'data.txt' is now 123 and not 23!
	      ?>

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      A simple fwrite(3) example

	      <?php
	      $filename = 'test.txt';
	      $somecontent = "Add this to the file
";

	      // Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
	      if (is_writable($filename)) {

		  // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
		  // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
		  // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
		  if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
		       echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
		       exit;
		  }

		  // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
		  if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
		      echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
		      exit;
		  }

		  echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

		  fclose($handle);

	      } else {
		  echo "The file $filename is not writable";
	      }
	      ?>
