We increasingly need better granularity in our sleep/wakeup calls and things like device polling and trafic shaping needs higher granularity in particular. So pending any really good arguments to the contrary I plan to increase HZ to 1000 on i386 this weekend. You can still define any HZ value you like in your kernel config file or even set it from the loader. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
