Oh, my.  Here's what I get with 64-bit Hamilton C shell on Windows 7 on a
2.67GHz Core i7:

10 C% date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
Sun Oct 10 12:03:31 PDT 2010
11 C% while (1) !!; end | uniq -c
while ( 1 ) date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" ; end | uniq -c
 164 Sun Oct 10 12:03:51 PDT 2010
 170 Sun Oct 10 12:03:52 PDT 2010
 169 Sun Oct 10 12:03:53 PDT 2010

Here's what I get on a MacBook with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, again running
64-bit code on Win7:

8 C% while ( 1 ) date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" ; end | uniq -c
  17 Sun Oct 10 12:17:21 PDT 2010
  84 Sun Oct 10 12:17:22 PDT 2010
  77 Sun Oct 10 12:17:23 PDT 2010
  78 Sun Oct 10 12:17:24 PDT 2010

But this is running native, using threads instead of a fork emulation.

Regards,
Nicole

Full disclosure:  I wrote the Hamilton C shell.
