The default kernel param "timeslice" is 10 mS Ticks. Performance of apps is not limited to cpu and memory. Take a look at the I/O and make sure you aren't getting bottlenecked.

Re: cycles cpu or mimimal cpu time assigned to process

Hi
You can use Glance to know how much of CPU time each process is taking , during the interval of measurement or cumulative.
On unix the cpu time allocated to each process depends on the priority of the process and default each child process get the process pritority of the parent unless specified otherwise.
The priority of a process can be decreased or increased using the nice command.
But actaully how priority translates to actual CPU time that a process gets I am not sure..
