You don't need to analyse or spend hours or even do any testing. If
you sync up the SPS-1 to something that keeps regular time closer to
the mark you can hear very clearly within 2 bars that she moves around
more than she should. The later analysis and testing just proves what
is plain to hear. 

Remember that if none of your other hardware or software maintains
tight tempo precision any better than your SPS-1 then you won't notice
anything at all and this whole issue may seem like a total mystery to you.

Many years ago I started out with a few bits of average gear which
sounded OK together. Then I added something that was a bit more solid
and then the other stuff sounded a bit rough - didn't know why. Rather
than putting up with it I dug a bit deeper and worked it out. I slowly
got rid of the ruff stuff and started picking gear that stayed in the
pocket. After a while you start asking - if some boxes can nail it -
why can't others? 

You gotta ask the questions if you want to know the answers.....
