Not the "exact same time interval". This will be polled every GuaranteedSafepointInterval milliseconds in a quiescent VM, but otherwise it will depend on the VM operations being executed. When the self-destruct interval is in minutes this difference is in the noise, but if you try to make it too short then it could affect what you are trying to measure.
