>Why not? How do you explain it otherwise?
Lots of reasons
- the system may be busy with other (non-fox) programs/services/ etc
- it may garbage collect variables
- decrease it's memory allocation


The tests have to be run at least a couple of times to reduce influence from the above

Call the function continously - look at the memory it takes in the task manager
