Lines: 9 Message-ID: <4ntet4$7mv@ennui.eng.octel.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ennui.eng.octel.com I notice in the kernel that the context switch time is every 100 msec or 10 times a second. Is there any reason why it is set to every 100msec and not 50msec or 25msec? If I know how many task will be running in my box, and I like to have every task get a cpu cycle, would changing the roundrobin time help? John
