With some kernels/devices/device drivers, the higher the clock setting the more likely it is that you will miss an interrupt if you have a high-latency driver or device. But if you don't have any devices/device drivers locking out interrupts for extended periods you may not notice any difference between the three settings. It can depend a lot on what the box is doing and device driver versions.
