It depends on how you define the term realtime. Theoritically, if you need
to send
any message, you are limited by the speed of light. So, in the strict sense,
nothing in the world is realtime even the thing you see before your eye
since light must travel for a few microsecond before it reach you.
Therefore, in most case, people usually define it as "fast enough to be
useful", or " fast enough to handle the situation". In our case, we just
collect the system statistics from /proc and deliver them to you every few
seconds. So, we think it will be useful to know that some people running
something and load your CPU for a while. In this sense, I beleive that
realtime monitoring is possible according to the definition of
"Fast enough to be useful".
For context switch, we read it from /proc and trust the kernel guy to
provides it properly. :-)
