from
your hardware. If I understood correctly, you are using the Leon2 =
hardware
timer to generate interrupts every 50 us. Supposing that your ISR takes
about 10 us to execute (which I think is an conservative estimate), 20% =
of
your CPU usage is spent here :S. Furthermore, waking up other threads =
(with
the semaphore release) takes even more time...

Remember that an ISR takes some time to execute.=20

I would advice, if possible, to call directly the functions you need to
perform INSIDE the timer2 interrupt routine. Perhaps this is not easy or =
not
even possible :S. Since you use semaphores, I suppose you need some =
mutual
exclusion algorithms. This could only be achieved by disabling =
interrupts in
that region (with this approach). Of course, if your operations take a =
long
time to execute...your timer2 accuracy will suffer since interrupts are
disabled for a long time :S.

This is a though problem and it's hard to suggest a better solution =
without
understanding more of the system :S

Nevertheless, hope this helped...at least a bit :)
