Are you sure about this?

The math is telling me for the:

idle task:      (3 / (1024 + 1024 + 3))^(-1) * 4ms = 2735ms

normal task: (1024 / (1024 + 1024 + 3))^(-1) * 4ms =    8ms

(4ms - 250 Hz)

normal task: (1024 / (1024 + 1024 + 1024))^(-1) * 4ms = 12ms

idle task:    (3 / (15 + 15 + 3))^(-1) * 4ms = 44ms

normal task: (15 / (15 + 15 + 3))^(-1) * 4ms =  9ms
