Okay. So what do you think about changing the value in param.h from
1024, so that it matches the new common value of 250, or is it best
just to leave it at 1024 and let applications that use it get the wrong
result?
In my opinion, HZ needs to be a constant, since otherwise you could
break perfectly fine existing code (e.g., code which statically
initializes a variable with HZ and then picks up the correct frequency
from sysconf) and if you have to pick a particular constant, it seems
reasonable to me to pick the most commonly used frequency (which
appears to be 250Hz at the moment).
