DPC Latency Checker is a free tool that shows in real-time how quickly your system reacts to the tasks it has to complete.
DPC stands for
Deferred Procedure Call, which is a Windows mechanism that allows high-priority tasks to defer lower-priority tasks for later execution. For example, device drivers are high-priority tasks that need to be processed right away before any other task.

In this article I will show you how you can use
DPC Latency Checker to find out if you have a device driver problem and, if any, how to fix it.
