round_robin_switch_rate

[Chris Bryant <Chris.Bryant@xxxxxxxx>]

Admins,

	I have a GS160 running Tru64 5.1 pk 5 and I was checking parameters
yesterday and found that my proc: round_robin_switch_rate = 26.  It is my
understanding that the Time_Quantum = hz / round_robin_switch_rate which
would give each process 38.46 milliseconds of processor time.  After asking
my collegues none could remember changing the round_robin_switch_rate from 0
to 26.  Could anyone give me any pointers as to possible cenarios where
changing this parameter from 0 would be to an advantage?  Is this parameters
value dependent on other parameters being set?  I will summarize.

TIA,
