The bigger problem is existing user space. That is why we've always kept the user visible HZ based values the same when changing the kernel HZ. You can't automatically regenerate all the old binaries you might otherwise break. Performance is only a minor issue, and I doubt anyone who cared about performance would be using ia-64 anyway [Grabs coat and exits..] - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
