OK, then "few microseconds" would be the lower bound.
I just ran that benchmark you pointed out, and on this circa 5 year old
x86 processor context switches between processes are 8 microseconds
without CPU affinity, 5 microseconds with CPU affinity. I'm not going to
worry about it for most things I deal with.

Context switches are only a few microseconds.
Certainly the right ballpark, but it depends. It could easily be a few
hundred microseconds
