What kind of worst-case task response time can one get from a beefy
iRMX286 system?  Say for example a 16mhz 386 with decent RAM, maybe a
cache?  I'm just interested in ballpark figures, like about how many
hundreds of microseconds.  By task response, I mean longest possible
time from an interrupt to the time the (highest-priority) task can
respond to the interrupt.  I realize that iRMX has "interrupt tasks";
aren't these sort of limited?  Maybe not.
