on x86, with nanosleep i get:

 # ./test-rt
 100 revs; min: 5026 max: 5099 avg: 5062
 100 revs; min: 5031 max: 5105 avg: 5065
 100 revs; min: 5021 max: 5096 avg: 5048
 100 revs; min: 5014 max: 5080 avg: 5041
 100 revs; min: 5015 max: 5072 avg: 5040
 100 revs; min: 5018 max: 5075 avg: 5041
 100 revs; min: 5021 max: 5091 avg: 5042

with select i get:

 # ./test-rt
 100 revs; min: 4276 max: 6048 avg: 5181
 100 revs; min: 4371 max: 6060 avg: 5438
 100 revs; min: 4409 max: 6056 avg: 5338
 100 revs; min: 4940 max: 6056 avg: 5468
 100 revs; min: 4938 max: 6049 avg: 5398
 100 revs; min: 4373 max: 6056 avg: 5279
 100 revs; min: 4943 max: 6040 avg: 5068

(HZ=250 on this kernel)

so these results look pretty normal to me. Modified code attached below. 
(Change the '#if 1' to '#if 0' to get the select() measurement.)
