Okay, I have a thread with:
while(1) {
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tv);
nanosleep(&delay, NULL);
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &tv2);
timespecsub(&tv2, &tv);
}
If the delay is configured to be 0 < delay < 1ms I always get ~1ms delay.
Since nanosleep() is a cancellation point this means that the scheduler
will switch to another thread.
If the delay = 0 I get ~1600ns delay.
Yes. You are right. This is "the time that a thread can run before it is
pushed out by other threads".
Is there a way to decrease this time?

It seems to be independent of HZ.
