Here are my notes on this (from someone at cisco):
CSCdp38617 requesting that process-max-time be
unhidden
CSCdp38633 requesting that process-max-time be
documented
static ulong process_max_time; /* Max allowed tick
count for any process */
------------------
It somewhat limits the amount of time a given process
can hold the CPU for (in milliseconds). It's a knob
that I think has always been there, but recently
became un-hidden because if processes run for too long
and we're process-switching voice traffic for some
reason, voice quality suffers across the box.
Unless you're process-switching voice, you don't need
to touch it. If you are running voice, dorking with it
(down to 50-100ms or so) may improve voice quality
across the box
