mov     eax, Time               ; minimum time-slice in milliseconds
VMMcall Set_Time_Slice_Granularity
 
The Set_Time_Slice_Granularity service sets the minimum time-slice
granularity. This value specifies the minimum number of milliseconds a
virtual machine runs before being rescheduled.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
Time       Specifies the minimum time-slice granularity in milliseconds.
 
Return Value
 
This service has no return value.
 
Comments
 
Small time-slice granularity values make multitasking appear smoother, but
require high numbers of task switches and increase execution overhead. Large
values allow more time for the virtual machines to execute but may make
execution look intermittent to the user.
