Maarten said:
So not only the task switching overhead is significant, but also the task itself is slowed down by inefficient stack access.

Russ said:
Seems like this inefficiency is a problem whether you are using multitasking or not. True???

Erik said:
HUH? how can a 'task' ineffciency apply when you do not have 'tasks'

Well, it can't, of course. I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. I wasn't talking about the task switching overhead (although I did include that in the quote because the quote wouldn't have made sense otherwise).

What I am wondering is whether or not Maarten thinks that the inefficient stack access problem is somehow related to multitasking. I'd say that it isn't -- that it's a problem whether you have multitasking or not.
