I'm just using a full-speed main loop. No operating system. Each A/D conversion takes about 0.25 microseconds. The main loop is basically 4 if..thens, 2 sums, 1 shift, a bitwise and, a bitwise or, and a loop of less than or equal to 8 iterations (normally 1 or 2 iterations) which has an A/D conversion, 2 if..thens, a shift, and an addition. All are 8 bit operations.

Each instruction takes about 0.125 microseconds. I need to do a real time measurement, though.
