I tend to agree with that most of the time. Maybe I am biasing my question 
on a limited experience with PRU applications. 
>From my point of view PRU are good for relatively simple tasks, that should 
be fast and kept independent from ARM and the OS load. C seems to be a 
logic choice for the majority of the cases, but if (and here I beg to my 
only experience with PRU), there are some critical timing involved, like 
ensuring some actions are performed periodically. Is it possible and simple 
to keep track of the execution time (the number of pru clock cycles) a 
piece of code written in C takes to execute?
