I would add a config HZ_10 if EMBEDDED bool "10 Hz"[...]that is useful for compute servers (although it will violate the TCP specification). EMBEDDED would ensure only people who know what they're doing set it.
I thought the lowest frequency the PIT timer would give was around 18 Hz.Am I wrong, or are you thinking of other timing devices / different platforms?
