2.6.13 new option timer frequency

Hi all,

I built and installed 2.6.13 today, and oldconfig revealed the new option for 
timer frequency.

I searched the LKML on this, but all I found is the technical stuff - not 
really any layman solutions.

Two n00b questions here:

What does this do/what is it for?

I selected default, 250Hz.  If this is now an option, what was it before?

Thanks,

Nick
