E.g. via rt_timer_set_mode(tick_period) (native skin). If you enable the
periodic mode at compile time, you can use this call from your app to
tweak it during runtime. Additionally, there is the tick_arg module
parameter (or the xeno_nucleus.tick_arg kernel parameter) to set the
timer at startup.

Not really. Try to compile the native skin as module under 2.4...
