Best to read this article to understand why this happens. My guess is your app 
is probably starving the kernel of time to run its other functions and hence 
you get this warning. Most likely you are disabling interrupts for extended 
periods of time. Running multiple threads, each running every 5ms is not a good 
idea considering the thread switching time. 

Regards,
John
