That 496 will also change with load on the system, at least on average. I
dealt with this by having a user-space app sample the rate and adjust the ipg
to keep the average rate where I want it.
So, I'd suggest leaving the ipg as it is, and use external tools to get
the exact pps that you are looking for.
