According to LMbench2 on a 2-way 900MHz Itanium 2:
Context switching 0K - times in microseconds - smaller is better
----------------------------------------------------------------
OS 2p/0k 4p/0k 8p/0k
ctx swtch ctx swtch ctx swtch
----------------------------- --------- --------- ---------
Linux 2.5.72 1.5700000 1.6200000 1.7700000
