Data from sensor can not be sampled at 1000 Hz.

Question

Hi, 
 I am using nRF_SDK_15.0.0_a53641 and writing a program with keil. 
 I am receiving data from the sensor with TWI communication and writing it to the sensor by SPI communication. 
 So I sampled the data with reference to the apptimer example, 
 timer_ms = 1;
time_ticks = nrf_drv_timer_ms_to_ticks(&TIMER_TWI, time_ms); 
 As I tried to write data every 1 ms (1000 Hz), it runs at sampling frequency much lower than 1000 Hz. 
 Is it due to some other configuration? 
 The frequency setting for TWI communication with the sensor and SPI communication with the SD card is the default. 
 I will attach a part of the program below.

 Thank you.
