3. **Resource Contentions**: Context switches can exacerbate resource contention issues, especially in systems with limited CPU cores. If multiple processes are frequently contending for CPU time, the overhead of context switches can further delay process execution.

4. **Fragmentation**: Frequent context switches can lead to memory fragmentation, as processes are loaded and unloaded into memory. This fragmentation can degrade system performance over time, as it becomes more challenging to find contiguous blocks of memory for new processes.

While context switches are necessary for multitasking, excessive context switching can indeed lead to a significant loss of execution power by introducing overhead and resource contention in the system.
