good point. I've experimented with HZ of 10,000 on a 486-25. 10K was a 
bit large for this machine, but 2500 was no problem. What's the largest 
HZ anyone out there has used? I'd expect that 10K or 20K would not be a 
real problem. Anyone know?

p.s. no, time did not run fast. I put pre-scaling in hardclock so all was 
well.
