Thread context switch in one process & two processes

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20139651

Question

Is it faster to context-switch between two threads within the same process THAN to context switch between two threads within 2 different processes?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Yes - the new process context has to be loaded, memory-management registers etc.
