One loop two timeouts?

This is my .xinitrc
Thank you jasonwryan!

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

#exec gnome-session
#exec startkde
#exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice

packeges()
{
  packeges="`pacman -Qu | wc -l`"
	if [ $packeges -eq 0 ]; then		
		echo ""
	else
  	echo " $packeges |"
	fi
}

mydate()
{ 
  datePart=$( date +'%d.%m.%Y' )  
  echo " $datePart |"
}

mytime()
{
  hh=$( date +'%H')
  mm=$( date +'%M')
  ss=$( date +'%S')
  if (( ( "$ss" % 2 ) == "0" )); then		
		timePart=( $hh:$mm:$ss )
	else
		timePart=( $hh" "$mm" "$ss )
	fi
	echo " $timePart |"
}

mymem2()
{
	mem2=`grep MemFree /proc/meminfo | awk '{ print $2 }'`  
  mymem2=$(( $mem2/1024 ));
	echo " $mymem2 MB |"
}


while true; do
   xsetroot -name "||$(packeges)$(mymem2)$(mydate)$(mytime)||"; 
   sleep 1
done &

exec dwm

But clock skips one second from time to time.
I think this is because of function "packeges", because lasts longer the one second.
How can i have two loops with different timings?

This sort of task is more suitable for conky.
