Why was the rate incremented to maintain interactive performance?  Wasn't
that the whole idea of the pre-empt work?  Does the burden of pre-empt
actually require this?

It seems that the added inefficiency of these extra interrupts is going to
drag performance down.

} George Anzinger's 64-bit jiffies are in 2.5.
