I can't answer you completely ( this question for kernel maintainers ) :( But as I know this value used for IRQ (see arch/i386/kernel/irq.c) different kernel timers (arch/i386/kernel/time.c) for SMP (multiprocessor) in APIC functions ASPI functions almost in all drivers even in PCI bus and ATM subsystem and many many other
I have no idea about after-effects of change HZ ! I don't know about possibility to change this value only for traffic control functions ! I think change this value for Ix86 architecture not so simple ! If somebody have idea about this, share it with me ! 23.06.2002 14:39:59, bert hubert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Can you elaborate?
