I'm not particular ... and please don't mistake my sometimes dry
sense of humor as complaining ... that's rarely my intent .... but
please don't use a name that implies it is configurable. I learned
the hard way that it is not. ;-)

If the value truly represents clocks per tick, or milliseconds per
tick, and the value is always fixed, something along those lines
would certainly be appropriate.
