Not all schedulers are born the same. I have found that (the current version of) CFQ is better than others. As a matter of interest, I remember reading somewhere that squeezing 1000Hz out of an old machine may have the opposite effect to that intended. Is this pub talk, or have you experienced something that confirms this? No, it's not just pub talk. The trick is to look closely at what is happening and why. The HZ value indicates how often the kernel should tick, which is a timing signal. The tick consumes resources of course, but has the benefit of accurate timing signals. Modern machines can cope with this nicely, they are fast enough. Older machines, in combination with the kind of software we run these days, can't cope with this amount of activity, and the whole system slows down. The problem is very dynamic and subject to many variables so there is no single one-shot solution. The answer to what to do very much starts with It depends This is why Con first started working on process schedulers, looking for an algorithm the kernel could use to adapt to these cases and still be responsive on the desktop. The man with the numbers to back it all up is Ingo Molnar.

The reason is simple - it doesn't matter and you shouldn't concern yourself with such detail. uids map to usernames so that you can concentrate on meaningful names rather than meaningless 16 bit integers... There isn't a one-to-one correspondence between users and groups because this is usually pointless, and because of the following entirely realistic (but made up by me) type of scenario: postfix runs as the postfix user postfixadmin runs as the postfixadmin user mailscanner and spamassassin run as the mailscan user all three daemon users have the mail group as their primary group. At this point you have lost the synchronization between uid and gid sequencing and have to insert two blank groups to get it back. This is so grossly inelegant it defies description, utterly completely pointless and a total waste of dev time. Some of these accounts are defined in baselayout - the ones that can reasonably be assumed to be needed on almost all machines. The rest result from useradd/groupadd calls from the ebuild, which simply take the next one in sequence. The only broken app I have worked with in ages that required me to look up a uid/gid for it's config was postfixadmin, for all others I simply used the user/group name, which is totally sensible.
