George's solution provides high res timers for those services and users that want it without penalizing those who don't. please please please. if nothing else, put it in with default config to off. -- Mark Salisbury - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
