What is the context switch in CPU monitoring?
What problem if the context switch is too high in CPU running?

Is this a homework question? It looks like one.

As soon as I saw the topic title I too thought "homework".

EDIT: Impressive registration date vs first post though.

I've been registered long before I put my first post in too.
Even now I mostly read most posts instead of posting as my number of posts will show.
But I did have time on my hand during the Christmas period, so posted an unusual number of replies (for me) the last few weeks.

One common cause: More running processes than the system can handle.
