For projects and bigger tasks I am almost always spot on about the time I estimate. However I always multiple it by 2 since I know I will have some high priority issues in between, a sidetrack which needs to be done, internal solving some stuff etc..

It's not really the task itself. The problem is more (for me at least) how much do we get interrupted, and are the deep-code-sessions long enough to make steps fast enough.
