Hi, With really old kernels (100Hz) if You do sleep(1ms) You sleep for 10ms on average. With enterprise kernels (250Hz) Your sleep resolution increases by a factor of 4. With fresh kernels (1000Hz) You get real 1ms timer resolution - 10fold increase compared to old kernels.
With tickless You get whatever resolution You want - eg when You sleep for 100 microseconds(micro not mili) then You get exactly what You wish for. Now for reasons I do no try to understand :) there are a lot of really short sleeps and fast timers in FreeSwitch - like 100 micro(1/10th of a ms). So with CentOS such a 100 microsecond sleep cannot "fire" faster then 250 times a second. With tickless kernel same 100 microsecond sleep "fires" 10k times a second.
