hi, i came accross this issue and i found some good documentation about it. I thought i could share with you. Have you looked at the CPUfreq subsystem in linux? if not please visit this page http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/cpufreq.html /linux-2.6.18/Documentation/cpu-freq/ and also you may need better explation of what are the advantage and disadvantage to increase the HZ. Robert Love once explaind on this issue. I am just redirecting this page . Have a look on http://kerneltrap.org/node/464
cpufreq is used to change the processor clock rate - for those processors that support it. HZ is the timer interrupt frequency. Both are completely different.
