Answer 2

It is called Dispatch Latency.

• Time taken by the dispatcher to stop one process and start another process is called dispatch latency.
• Dispatch latency describes the amount of time it takes for a system to respond to a request for a process to begin operation.
• With a scheduler written specifically to honor application priorities, the real-time application can be developed with a bounded dispatch latency.
• The overall application response time is composed  of the interrupt response time.
