It's a miracle that it works at all, in the absence of a prototype for
the variadic functions scanf() and printf().  <stdio.h> should be #included
and the main() function should return a value.

Assuming that that behavior persists after you change the program to be
strictly conforming to the C standard, it would be an error in the
Quick C implementation, rendering it not standard conforming.

It is not at all a matter of timing.
