Is my stm32f103 chip's execution speed too slow?

Hi,

    I have several time strict  TIMER ISR and I tested the execution time of one of them.The result is that 47 instructions(indluding 3 branch instructions) costs 3 us.My chip is stm32f103 and all code and data is placed at internal flash ram.Can anyone tell me is that a normal case and whether the time can be reduced or not?Thank you in advance!

My system core clock has been configured at 72MHz.

Interrupt entry/exit is expensive. The flash is slow, and uncached. Try running your code, and have your Vector Table, in RAM.

Not clear what your interrupt rate is, but >100KHz is probably too high. And 1MHz would be ridiculously high.

Post those 47 instructions. It may be an entertaining undertaking to discuss this in detail. JW

This is the disassembly code from my ISR posted previously and the branch instructions seemingly are 4 and not 3.@clive1
