This was discussed/debated thoroughly over the past year:
CONFIG_SYS_HZ at 1000 is mandatory.

This means that each interrupt is exactly 1 msec. That's not what
was intended and not what was implemented Forcing the interrupt
period to 1 msec is an unnecessary constraint. If you want the isr
to increment the timestamp by 1, then set CONFIG_SYS_NIOS_TMRMS to 1
... and set your timer accordingly.
