+# About
+
+This test measures the amount of context switches between two threads of the
+same priority. The result amounts to the number of thread_yield() calls in
+*one* thread (half the number of actual context switches).
+
+This test application intentionally duplicates code with some similar benchmark
+applications in order to be able to compare code sizes.
