Subject: time to reconsider HZ?
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2005 06:04:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <16872.45685.696721.811934@napali.hpl.hp.com> (raw)

Since most other Linux platforms which use HZ>100 use a HZ value of
1000, I'm thinking it may be safer to switch ia64 to HZ\x1000 as well
(principle of least difference possible is generally a good one...).

In the past, I was concerned that there might be enough code that
divides by HZ that this might not be such a hot idea, but I think this
may not (or at least no longer) be the case: I compiled the same
kernel once with HZ\x1000 and once with HZ\x1024 and the code-size
actually shrunk.

What do others think?
