Im not sure i understand what you mean. Do you mean how long does a
thread run before it is round robin time sliced by another thread at
the same priority? By default a thread runs for five ticks. Its
controlled by CYGNUM_KERNEL_SCHED_TIMESLICE_TICKS.

What exactly are you trying to work out? What is the reason behind these
questions.
