A few years back I worked on the Sea Wolf program that had
very Hard Real-time requirements, required numerous interrupts
from different devices.

To make the system guarentee processing of interrupts within a
certain amount of time we had to do Rate Monotonic Analysis to
guarentee the maximum delay in scheduling of interrupt servicing
and the maximum processing times.

The tasking must be done with great care. You must make sure
that what is performed in the task is only what needs to be,
you must also understand how the Run-time system handles task.
Yuo also need to have the minumum number of tasks that are truelly
needed.


Just my two cents worth.....
