I did the following:
- In the idle task I wrote: while(1) { counter++; };
- Stopped all tasks, so that idle task was the only one to run
- Measured how many counter increments where in 1min, this showed me the 
"price" of one count in the loop.
- Opened all tasks, gave the system full load, reset the counter and 
measured once more.
         May be there are other, more useful ways?
