Fix two things. Firstly the unit is "Hz" not "HZ". Secondly it is useful to have 300Hz support when doing multimedia work. 250 is fine for us in Europe but the US frame rate is 30fps (29.99 blah for pedants). 300 gives us a tick divisible by both 25 and 30, and for interlace work 50 and 60. It's also giving similar performance to 250Hz. I'd argue we should remove 250 and add 300, but that might be excess disruption for now.

Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
|
|
to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more
|
|
beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
|
|
a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
|
|
contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
|
|
Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
|
|
environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
|
|
per second.

100 Hz is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
|
|
with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
|
|
too many timer interrupts are occurring.

250 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
|
|
while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
|
|
on SMP and NUMA systems. If you are going to be using NTSC video
|
|
or multimedia, selected 300Hz instead.

300 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance

while also showing good interactive responsiveness even

on SMP and NUMA systems and exactly dividing by both PAL and

NTSC frame rates for video and multimedia work.

1000 Hz is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other

systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.
