I do recall hearing of people who set HZ very low, perhaps because their huge machines were seeing performance prolems when the timer tick went off. Probably there's no need to do that any more. But still, we shouldn't hard-wire the (HZ >= 100) assumption if we don't absolutely need to, and I don't think it is absolutely needed here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
