It caught two errors on my EEE, one of which I knew about, and the other was a ttotally new thing to me. I know my kernel doesn't have HZ=1000, becuase when I do that, it doesn't boot. So, sorry, no 1000Hz timer. But it also caught this other weird thing I'd never heard of: fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288 Which was easy enough to fix. Fascinating.
