You only get fingerprinting from your method if the variation of the “fingerprint“ between two different runs by the same user is lower than the difference you get between two different users. This is far from obvious since it depends a lot on the workload running on the machine at the time.

I'm not aware of a single fingerprinting tool that primarily use this king of timing attack rather than more traditional fingerprinting methods.
