What Is Real-time Task Switching?
Real-time task switching is loosely defined as the ability of the operating system to switch tasks in approximately 50 milliseconds or less. Real time task switching is normally required by some embedded systems that need real fast responses to events. The prior release of Windows CE, version 2.11, switches tasks in about 250 milliseconds. Windows CE 3.0 on the Pocket PC is much faster, which makes the system run smoother.
