Message-Id: <16872.45685.696721.811934@napali.hpl.hp.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org 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 HZ00 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 HZ00 and once with HZ24 and the code-size actually shrunk. What do others think? --david
