Computer control does not need 11,000 process running to set throttle
position. A dumb servo system can do that with a few transistors.
The system is grossly overcomplicated for a very simple task, and
engines run VERY slowly (and the feedback loop is even slower than the
engine, O2 sensors take seconds to respond, not milliseconds) in terms
of computer controls.
Things are way out of hand with this stuff. Massive operating systems
are absolutely uneccessary to run a fairly simple system, and it can
be done just as easily with a pure analog system, as Benz did for a
couple decades before the EPA required digital multipoint systems that
could theoretically shut off a bad cylinder. They don't, of course,
because it's almost impossible to tell which one is bad, but the EPA
required it.
They did NOT require running Windows 8 to control the throttle position.
