Chris,

forgive my ignorance, buy could you explain to me (or provide a link)
why it's unlike linux kernel task switching?

given that multitasking on *nix is not simultaneous execution but the
constant and (hopefully) efficient application of cpu resources to tasks
to make the most of system resources (taking the task priority into account).

Thanks,

Ben
