Context switch in this article = within a computer and processor, not about psychology

Well this is a computer technology new aggregator isn't it? Not a psychology one.

To be fair, we do frequently talk about 'context switching' in a metaphorical sense of flitting between programming and conversations/meetings, or among different projects.

If anything, I think I agree with GP that it's more unusual to see the term used in the 'real' (not metaphorical) sense on the front page.
