What is the time between 2 mi_switches in freebsd.

[ushasri tummala]

Thank You Des for your reply.
I am using Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating Systems.

I just want to know how its(time between 2 mi_switch()) calculated and in
which variable is it stored in the code.(FreeBSD 5.2 release)
This is not addressed in text book.

Thank You,
Usha.
