A priority preemptive, time distribution operating system operating in accordance with the method of the present invention provides enhanced efficiency in operation of a data processing system having a central processing unit, a computer memory and an auxiliary memory. The operating system manages the central processing unit, the computer memory and the auxiliary memory where a plurality of processes are presented for execution on the central processing unit by: ordering the processes for execution; allocating a predetermined time slice for execution of a process from the ordering; executing a first current process in the ordering on the central processing unit for the predetermined time slice; responsive to occurrence of a storage access operation during execution of the first current process, allocating a supplemental time slice to the current process for execution; and continuing execution of the current process for the supplemental time slice.
