What do you expect from a._created, b._created, and its difference?
You reset Meta.start each time - so _created measures the time between  
creation of two consecutive instances (minus a small delay because of the  
*two* calls to time.time())
And obviously the elapsed time until the second instance is created is  
larger, due to the intervening print statement.
