Windows – Bytes Per ‘Interval’ in Windows XP Task Manager

task-managerwindows

In Windows XP, one of the columns for the network tab in task manager that I can add is Bytes Per Interval. So what amount of time in seconds is a 'Microsoft Interval', 1.2?

I see there is 'Update Speed', but that is just Low, Normal, High .. Also totally useless …

If you go to the View tab in the Update Speed submenu and hover over the 4 different speeds you will get an explanation of what the intervals are in the status bar at bottom of the window.

  • High = 2 updates / second
  • Normal = 1 update / 2 seconds
  • Low = 1 update / 4 seconds
  • Paused = well, you can figure that out...
