- prompt "Timer frequency"
- default HZ_250
- help
- Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
- to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 HZ but 100 HZ may be more
- beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
- a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
- contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
- Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
- environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
- per second.
- config HZ_100
- bool "100 HZ"
- help
- 100 HZ is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
- with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
- too many timer interrupts are occurring.
- config HZ_250
- bool "250 HZ"
- help
- 250 HZ is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
- while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
- on SMP and NUMA systems.
- config HZ_1000
- bool "1000 HZ"
- help
- 1000 HZ is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other
- systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.

- int
- default 100 if HZ_100
- default 250 if HZ_250
- default 1000 if HZ_1000
