error in timing with pause command

Hello Everyone. I have a weird problem with the pause command on a 12F675. This code snippet should make GPIO.4 high for 10 seconds but only goes high for less than 8. I'm using the internal oscillator like I always do but never had this much error in timing. Any ideas? Thank you.

High GPIO.4
Pause 10000
Low GPIO.4
Pause 100
GoTo start

Does your oscillator and OSC settings match?

Try:

LENGTH VAR WORD
LENGTH = 10000

High GPIO.4
PAUSE LENGTH
LOW GPIO.4
PAUSE 100
GoTo Start

Sorry to take so long to get back to you jmgelba. I didn't get a chance to try it at work yet. We were clobbered with hurricane Sandy and our company has been closed. I'll try it shortly. Thank you.
