This is called just like the normal one.. About 200 time a second.  The only 
advantage I know of now is that it happens before the real interrupt(which 
includes user routines) and that you can use the user interrupt routine along 
with this.  So if you run a program that uses the user interrupt, it will have no 
affect on it. Another thing is that you don't have to push and pop registers.. 
Other than that, it's just another way of doing things.
