# Context Switch Measurements

The goal of these 'quick and dirty' measurements is to get a feeling for the
expected minimum runtime of different operations involved in cotext switching/
stackfull coroutines.

We compare a jump_buf + stack pointer manipulation method, boost.context (represented
the c wrapper around their assembly to avoid importing whole boost), a custom 
fiber call written by us in assembly and finally some baseline for method call costs.

We plot the results for both an x86_64 and arm32 system to decide what implementation
we choose for pls, as this operation will be performed for every single task creation.
