Sorry, I mean with respect to the MARS library (not libspe or the system
at large). When a task running MARS calls the 'yield' MARS function, I
believe the MARS 'kernel' swaps out task's context. Otherwise the
partial_context_save demo application included in the MARS library
wouldn't show any difference between a full and partial context save time.
