使用该代码,我通过System.out.println()使用System.nanoTime()放置一些测量系统,这将帮助我们看到发生了什么：

我的电脑上的输出是：

Started: 10289712615974

Time the char should take: 166

Time it took: 165

…

Time the char should take: 166

…

Time the char should take: 166

Time it took: 5

Difference 161

Stopped: 10299835063084

Time it should take in total: 9960

Time it took using accumulator of time taken for each letter: 5542

Difference: 4418

Time it took using difference (endTime-startTime): 10122

Difference: -162

因此,我的结论是,摆动计时器实际上运行速度比我们预期的要快,因为Timers actionPerformed中的代码不一定需要长久的字母,预计突出显示时间会导致雪崩效应,即定时器运行的速度越快/越慢/更小的差异将会变得和定时器下一次执行重新启动(..)将需要在不同的时间,即更快或更慢.

在代码中做这个：

//calculate start of next letter to highlight less the difference it took between time it took and time it should actually take
delay = (int) (timeToTake - dif);


//restart timer with new timings
//((Timer) ae.getSource()).setInitialDelay((int)timeToTake);//timer is usually faster thus the entire highlighting will be done too fast
((Timer) ae.getSource()).setInitialDelay(delay);
((Timer) ae.getSource()).restart();

产生更准确的结果(每个字母的最大延迟Ive为4ms)：
