MY argument is that this is a case of give and take.

I wouldn't say that.  I do agree with you that HZ=1000 for everyone is
problematic, I just feel that a reasonable compromise is CONFIG_HZ with
the default left at 1000.


I would just say that changing something like this now is probably not a great idea, while allowing a config option for 100/250/1000 and maybe even 2000 won't make everyone happy, but seems to allow everyone to make themselves happy.
