That sounds nice!
This TIPS, CONFIG_HZ=100, is one of FAQs. It will make most of us happy.

Now we can get kernel-vm package on dev.centos.org.
Is it a test release of the special kernel?
I installed the kernel-vm. Its change-log shows HZ=100.
And the kernel seems better for clock interval on VMWare.
Thanks a lot.

Tsuchimoto-san,

Yes, they are in testing.  Some of us have been running the 100HZ
kernel for more than 2 months and have not seen any problem so far.
If you wish to know more details about the development of the
virtualization-optimized kernel, please take a look at:

And feel free to add any comments you have on that report.
