Round Robin Scheduling

I understand that a big advantage of round robin scheduling over non-preemptive schedulers is that it dramatically improves average response times. By limiting each task to a certain amount of time, the operating system can ensure that it can cycle through all ready tasks, giving each one a chance to run, and the length of the quantum and the number of processes in the run queue.

How do time slice duration and context switching affect each other in a round robin scheduling algorithm?
