you can do ( the .config file used is compiled into the kernel )
        zcat /proc/config.gz  | grep HZ

Looks like this:
        # CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
        CONFIG_HZ_250=y
        # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
        CONFIG_HZ=250
( 250 Hz for my box )

usually it is also copied into /boot/ when installing the new
kernel as config-<$kernelversion>

Change it in the /usr/src/linux/.config file or use
make <UI of choice>config in /usr/src/linux/ before building
a new kernel.
