+# Timer Interrupt Frequency Configuration

+choice
+	prompt "Timer frequency"
+	default HZ_250
+	help
+	 Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
+	 to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more
+	 beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
+	 a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
+	 contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
+	 Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
+	 environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
+	 per second.
+
+
+	config HZ_100
+		bool "100 HZ"
+	help
+	  100 Hz is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
+	  with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
+	  too many timer interrupts are occurring.
+
+	config HZ_250
+		bool "250 HZ"
+	help
+	 250 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
+	 while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
+	 on SMP and NUMA systems. If you are going to be using NTSC video
+	 or multimedia, selected 300Hz instead.
+
+	config HZ_300
+		bool "300 HZ"
+	help
+	 300 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
+	 while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
+	 on SMP and NUMA systems and exactly dividing by both PAL and
+	 NTSC frame rates for video and multimedia work.
+
+	config HZ_1000
+		bool "1000 HZ"
+	help
+	 1000 Hz is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other
+	 systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.
