...is that you can't just split a task in two, do something else in the middle, and then expect the rest of original task to take take the same time as if it had not been interrupted.
There is an interuption penalty as you get "back up to speed" with the interrupted task. If there are too many interruptions, you never actually get up to speed at all! And after too many interrupts, your stack overflows and your return addresses fall on the floor! that's what's in that big stack of papers in the corner ... -a |
