My measurements for System 3 / DOS on a 486DX, 33 MHz showed that the main
event loop cycle frequency (corresponds to "Task" above) depends heavily on 
the pointer position (message path):

over a text viewer (not ~ document!):	1400 /s
over the desktop background:		 480 /s
over a single panel:			 220 /s
over 3 overlapping panels:		 160 /s
