I reproduced something similar on Python 3.9.0b1, Windows 64-bit version:
py -m pyperf timeit -s "import threading; E = threading.Event()" "E.wait(<NUMBER>)"
NUMBER Mean +- std dev
-------------------------------------------
0.0 5.79 us +- 0.13 us
0.000000000001 15.6 ms +- 0.1 ms
0.001 15.6 ms +- 0.1 ms
0.01 15.6 ms +- 0.6 ms
0.013 15.5 ms +- 0.6 ms
0.015 15.9 ms +- 0.9 ms
0.016 25.2 ms +- 0.5 ms
0.017 31.2 ms +- 0.2 ms
0.018 31.2 ms +- 0.4 ms
0.025 31.2 ms +- 1.0 ms
0.05 62.2 ms +- 0.8 ms
0.1 109 ms +- 2 ms
0.2 201 ms +- 3 ms
0.5 500 ms +- 0 ms
1.0 1.00 sec +- 0.00 sec
On the smaller scale, it looks quantized to multiples of ~15ms (?), but then it gets more accurate as the times get larger. I don't think it's a measurement error since the first measurement manages microseconds.
Perhaps this is just an OS-level thread-scheduling issue?
