perhaps you should manually define HZ variable, decreasing it means
lowering ticks per second. Trace how the related CONFIG_ value is taken
from Kconfig and applied to kernel source (probably you need to grep).

IIRC, I think there were issues with using values for HZ other than 100, 250 & 1000. Can we use any value for HZ now?
