Measures reported by WinNewSystemTest

This test reports how busy the system processor was while handling hardware device interrupts.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Interrupt_time Indicates the percentage of time spent by the processor for receiving and servicing the hardware interrupts during the last polling interval. Percent This is an indirect indicator of the activity of devices that generate interrupts such as system Clocks, the mouse device drivers, data communication lines, network interface cards and other peripheral devices.

In general, a very high value of this measure might indicate that a disk or network adapter needs upgrading or replacing.
