The GSFC NICER FSW team discovered that it takes approximately 1 second to process the Dump Table Registry command when there are 250 RTS tables and that lower priority tasks generate various error events related to not getting an opportunity to run. Adding a platform configuration definition to insert task delays into the process loop will increase the time necessary for CFE_TBL to finish the command but will allow lower priority tasks to run while the command is being processed.

Also, creating some test code that puts performance markers around the file i/o calls within the command processor may identify where the bulk of the command process time is spent. It may be possible to reduce the command execution time by optimizing the command handler code if the bulk of the execution time is not being spent inside the file system.
