What is causing this time gap difference?

Solution

The reason the user is seeing gaps in the execution profile is due to how the data collection is set up in the tool. By default, Process Model execution threads are not included in the captured or displayed data.

You can enable the Process Model execution threads logging by navigating to File >> Configure Data Collection to launch the Configure Data Collection window.

Make sure that the checkbox for Process Model is ticked.

After that, you need to navigate to View and make sure Show Process Model is checked so that the Process Model execution threads will be shown.
