Hello, net.

I'm writing a set of programs which work together but should
run at different priorities.  What I'd like to do is monitor
how these different programs interact as far as who runs when
and for how long.  What I'd particularly like to know is

  * how does one get the currently running task to relinquish
    the CPU for the rest of the current time slice?  I want to
    have a task which will increment a counter each time it is
    activated, then sleep until its turn to run comes up
    again.

All the other monitoring functions I want to build into this
system can be built on top of this and the other exec functions,
but this one has me stumped.  Any ideas?
