For use in a digital process controller (DPC), a system for, and method of, balancing a control algorithm processing load and distributing the load over a given time interval and a real time plant control system employing the syste m or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a model for estimating execution time of at least one control algorithm based on configuration data applied to that algorithm, the DPC capable of balancing a nd distributing said load based on the estimate generated by the model and (2) a data entry process, associated with the model, that allows an empirically- determined execution time to be associated with at least one control algorithm, the DPC capable of balancing and distributing the load based on t he time in lieu of the model based estimate and balancing and distributing the load upon configuration of at least one control algorithm.
