timer0 delay differs from calculated value - anything missing?

[bimalkamal]

Please anyone tell me how many times in a minute the LEds of PORTB will blink? Or the delay time the mydelay() will create.

You can achieve a precise answer by some simulation tools.
Take in mind that not only Scaler and Pre-scaler are accounted, but also amount of instructions processed before timer register reload.
