Forget all crap about kernel time resolution having anything to do with
application performance. Anything above 100Hz may (because of linux scheduler
inefficiency) have good influence on desktop computer and not on server app.

Higher timer means more frequent process rescheduling and more involuntary
context switches and that means lower performance.

All you can do is wait for better process scheduler inside linux kernel.
