Magnetic hysteresis is a complicating factor.
When you apply a magnetic field to a magnetic
material, it is partially magnetized.  When you
saturate it, it is strongly magnetized.  When it
is magnetized, it opposes the application of a
reverse magnetic field, and it takes a certain
reverse applied field to overcome the residual
field in the material, and it takes a little more
reverse applied field to reverse the residual
field.  This causes a timing delay in the magnetic
transitions.  The amount of delay depends on the
applied signal level.
