Description

Sets the pre-emption interval, in milliseconds. The interval is the period for which a thread will evaluate in thread-interleaving mode before it is pre-empted by the next thread.

The default interval value is 0. If the interval is set to 0, the thread mechanism behaves as though interleaving mode were switched off.
